Moscow-Nice run: Got time? Money? Take new train (AP)

September 25th, 2010

Employees of the Russian Railways Moscow-Nice service train after its arrival, at Nice Station, Saturday, Sept. 25, 2010. The first train in a luxury service to take rich Russians to the French Riviera in style arrived in Nice some 53 hours after its departure from Moscow. The Moscow-Nice service launched by Russian Railways will offer a once-a-week run for those with money and time. In the era of bullet trains and air travel, this train travels at a sedate 63 kilometers (40 mph) per hour, and just slightly faster on the return. For fares ranging from â?¬306 ($412) one-way to â?¬1,200 ($1,616) for a luxury compartment, the traveler passes through two dozen cities and a half-dozen countries before reaching Nice.
