Carnoules is a village in the Var way similar to many others, today as it was before the 1860s - because he has seen, between these two periods, the period of the railway omnipresent in the life of the village which he printed his pace, day and night. And it lasted a good hundred years that the village was clearly distinguished from its neighbors. Unlike surrounding communities with stable populations, in whom the tillage activity was largely dominant, so it ended Carnoules populated by a majority of workers and employees, from some deposits or stations in other parts of Paris Lyon Mediterranean network (PLM) or even the whole of France after the birth of the SNCF in 1938. There were up to 500 railroad Carnoules, most working in the depot which counted a hundred locomotives which they assured the operation or maintenance. Carnoules has lived more than a century the rhythm of the railroad during this period covering almost half of the 19th century and three quarters of the 20th century. This past has necessarily changed the landscape, the lifestyle and mentality. Now those days are gone. Nevertheless, it is not forgotten. In all who knew her still a certain nostalgia for the fabulous time of the railway steam. Carnoulais but are not backward-looking either. They have made a locomotive of the 1890s, enthroned at the entrance of the village, a monument symbolizing the railway tradition, does not prevent them from being fully integrated into the present and looking toward the future.
