Depart from Nice for a five-hour coastal ride that explores some of the French Riviera's most iconic panoramas. Follow the Corniche road, ascend through fragrant pines and scrubland, and reach viewpoints offering sweeping vistas over Nice, Cape Ferrat and the transparent Mediterranean waters. The route leads down to Villefranche-sur-Mer where the colourful old town and its citadel reveal centuries of maritime history. Pass by XVIth-century forts that punctuate the coastline and discover the dramatic promontories used for defence and observation long ago. Continue along the wealthy peninsula known as the Billionaire's Cape, where some of the region's most striking villas and landscaped estates line the shore. The itinerary mixes cliffside outlooks, sheltered forest tracks and coastal descents, giving a varied sense of the Riviera's light, geology and architecture. Expect frequent photo stops, a relaxed pace to savour seaside villages, and opportunities to pause in harbourfront cafes. This experience offers an original way to connect with the landscape and the long human story of this stretch of coastline.
