At the end of the 19th century a locomotive made the connection between La Turbie and Monaco. Today you can see the remains of the railway station.

At the end of the 19th century, the link La Turbie-Monaco was made by a network of paths that were difficult to walk. With the development of tourism in the Belle Epoque, it was necessary to find a comfortable and quick solution to bring the rich clientele to the village: the rack railway was therefore inaugurated on 10 February 1894.

The locomotive made the 2.5 km journey several times a day at 7 km/h on a one-metre wide track. The funicular consisted of a locomotive and a single wagon, divided into first and second class.
