About this tour
This five-hour e-bike loop from Nice rolls through the French Riviera's most compelling coastal and hilltop terrain. You'll pedal past Belle Époque mansions and Mediterranean pines along Cape Nice, descend to Villefranche's pastel-hued old quarter, and lunch on the beach with views toward Cap Ferrat. The route combines gentle climbs with rewarding descents, threading through centuries of architecture and film history before returning to Nice.
Highlights
- Belle Époque villas and pine forest atop Cape Nice
- 16th-century fortress overlooking Villefranche Bay
- Coastal descent with unobstructed views of Cap Ferrat
- Old Town's narrow streets and maritime heritage
- Beach picnic lunch with swimming opportunity
- Optional Cocteau Chapel visit (Jean Cocteau's original artworks)
What to expect
Expect a mixed-terrain ride: initial climbs onto Cape Nice reveal grand villas and Mediterranean scrub, then you'll descend gradually toward Villefranche's waterfront. The old town walk explores tight medieval lanes with film-location stories woven through. Lunch happens beachside—bring swimmers and a towel if you plan to wade. The return journey retraces less demanding coastal paths. E-bikes handle the elevation well; moderate fitness helps you enjoy rather than survive the day.
