Nice Travel Forum

Hi everyone

I am coming to watch the Monte Carlo Masters tennis next month but staying in Nice. I have checked the tournaments website and it says you can get a train from Nice direct to the country club as there is a station nearby.

I have tried the SNCF website and i can't find any trains that go there, only to the main station in Monte Carlo. I also can't find any timetables with a list of all stops so i can see which trains do go there. This is what was posted for last year

so you can get the train.

Can anyone help?

Thank you in advance for any replies.

The link you have provided does not work, but I found info here:

http://montecarlo.masters-series.com/4/en/event/access/default.asp

Clicking on 'Schedules SCNF 2008' brings up timetables and stops for trains from Nice. It is unlikely that they will vary much this year, if at all.

No doubt the site willput up the 2009 information in due course. You can also get a bus from Nice (info on link above), so access is fairly straightforward.

I could not find the station listed on bahn.de (which carries almost all inof about almost all European trains, apart from fares) either..but it clearly exists! :-)

The same website says: “The Monte-Carlo Country” Club train station is located approximately 600m from the tournament venue. Travellers coming from France, alight one stop after “Monaco/Monte-Carlo” and those from the Italian side, one stop after “Roquebrune Cap Martin”.
Click on the following link to know the schedules of train during the next tournament :

SCHEDULES SNCF 2008
(this is the link they give ---- http://montecarlo.masters-series.com/4/en/event/travel2008.pdf )

You have the train timetable and the name of the station is THE MONTE-CARLO COUNTRY CLUB ! (or Monte Carlo CC on the train time tables sometimes)
You may be looking at main line trains not locals.
This is the locals:

I have somehow found an up-to-date timetable. I think i will check the day before which trains stop at the Country Club otherwise i might go early and have a stroll through Monte Carlo on my way.

Thanks for all your help.
