Line history

The Marseille–Ventimiglia railway was built and used by the Chemins de fer de Paris à Lyon et à la Méditerranée. The first section that was opened in 1858 led from Marseille to Aubagne. The line was extended to Toulon in 1859, and to Les Arcs in 1862. Cagnes-sur-Mer was reached in 1863, and Nice in 1864. The line was extended to Monaco in 1868, and to Menton in 1869.[3] Finally in 1872 the section from Menton to Ventimiglia was opened.
