Formerly the “Pignes train” line, it is the only line still existing from the former network of the Southern France Railway Company. This line is also known as the “Pignes train”, just like the Central-Var line (from Nice to Meyrargues), which has now disappeared.

The seaside and holiday destination of the commune of Roquebrune-sur-Argens, France stretches along 8 km of inlets and fine sandy beaches. Its incarnation as a resort took place in the 1930s with the development of Hotel La Résidence (now named Hôtel club Vacanciel des Issambres) above La Garonette Beach. Clearly conspicuous from the sea, it is located in the Val d' Esquieres, which Les Issambres shares with the commune of Sainte Maxime. Eastwards on the beach is the sailing center with boat rentals and a sailing school, a protected boat harbour with some marine shops, dive center and restaurants. There is a ferry (Les Bateaux Verts) that takes passengers to the Sainte Maxime harbour or Saint Tropez.

A round trip to the sea, from Draguignan, via a maximum of cycle paths, small bucolic roads and even a passage on a dirt track in the middle of the vineyards (this track can be avoided if the bike does not have the suitable tires) We will follow the massif of the rock of Roquebrune, magnificent red rocks, to arrive at the seaside which can be skirted to Les Issambres, San Peire district by walking on a road (former railway line of the train des pignes) reserved for cyclists, pedestrians and a few residents by car.
