Yes, there is a train!! We've taken it from Nice to Monte Carlo and back. Here's a nice website to check out - http://www.villefranche-sur-mer.com/htmlgb/fs_accueil.html. Thought I had book marked the french rail site, but didn't. You can try and find it via a search engine search - I think the letters are SCNF?? We had no problem w/ the trains. Of note both the Nice Station and the Monte Carlo station are a bit of a walk from the main areas you'll want to see. Might recommend a cab - especially for Monte Carlo - I seem to remember it a bit of a hike. We are going to NIce and doing our own thing - really like the Old Town area and the Cours Seleya (sp?) - wide open market square with lots of tasty outdoor cafes. Just off this area you'll find quaint shops.
