Philippe Gougler leaves for a trip to Slovenia, a small European country wedged between sea and mountains. And what better way to discover this little-known country than by train? To begin, he boards a small mine train which will take him under the mountains to discover sunken tunnels. There are also everyday trains, and the more unusual ones, which climb the mountains with cars on board as well as auto-trains which run on railway tracks dating from the Austro-Hungarian era.

Philippe Gougler begins his discovery of San Francisco with the emblematic “cable cars”, these trams which climb the steep hills of the city, offering panoramic views. He also discovered other, more modern ways of getting around, such as autonomous cars, driverless vehicles that navigate the streets of San Francisco. Philippe then boards the Coastal Starlight, a legendary line offering spectacular views from the California coast to Santa Barbara. The globetrotter's journey continues in San Francisco with the Golden Gate Bridge, symbol of the city. Finally, he crosses the majestic forests of giant sequoias by steam train.
