Overview

A sun drenched bike tour along the Côte d’Azur. The Côte d'Azur (Azure Coast) has over 300 days of sun per year. This region has an aristocratic history, beautiful architecture, stunning beaches, limestone cliffs, and forests of oak and pine. Its clarity of light, vibrant colors, and temperate climate have inspired famous artists, writers, and thinkers, such as Picasso, Matisse, and F. Scott Fitzgerald. The tour begins in Hyères - Plages on the peninsula of Giens, providing a relaxed rural start. Throughout the cycling days, you will discover medieval towns, romantic and small fishing villages, and dreamy bays outlined by the turquoise blue of the sea. The tour finishes in the fashionable metropolis of Nice, France's 5th largest city. Here, you can enjoy strolling the ochre-colored streets, the Promenade des Anglais, and world-famous beaches.
