Quiet backroads wind through vineyards, perched villages, and rolling hills — including picturesque loops around Vence and quieter inland terrain.
Nice’s iconic seafront promenade offers a spectacular flat ride along the Mediterranean — perfect for warming up or a relaxed cruise by the water.
Just north of Nice, classic climbs like Col d’Èze and Corniche loops offer stunning views and challenging ascents that have legendary status among riders in the region.
For a bigger day on the bike, the nearby Alpes-Maritimes region delivers unforgettable climbs, breathtaking descents, and panoramic vistas across the Riviera and up toward the high mountains.
Post-ride refuelling is an art here, whether it’s a buttery croissant on a sunny terrace, a pain au chocolat grabbed from a neighbourhood boulangerie, or a proper espresso stop mid-ride.
Epic climbs, coastal views, the Alps & the Cote d'Azur, welcome to Nice!
