Coastal Riviera & Eagle Nest Villages Scooter Day Tour with Tasting from Nice

About this tour

Ride a scooter along the French Riviera's most dramatic coastal switchbacks, guided by a local who knows where the views actually stop traffic. In five hours, you'll switchback up to hilltop villages like Eze and La Turbie, perched where the Alps tumble toward the Mediterranean. Stop for a tasting that connects you to the region's food culture before dropping back to sea level. Best suited for riders comfortable on two wheels and ready for genuine Alpine hairpins.

What to expect

You'll start near Nice and wind uphill on engineered roads that cling to steep terrain. The ride builds gradually through tighter bends as altitude increases. Villages appear suddenly around hairpins—expect brief stops to explore stone streets and absorb views. A tasting break gives your hands and legs a rest whilst you sample local flavours. The return descent to sea level uses similar technical roads. Pace is steady rather than rushed; this favours confidence over speed. Surfaces vary from smooth tarmac to older, rougher village roads.
