Nice view Menton Beach Boulevard

At the height of the Dogana, a cycle path begins, first on the side of the road, then on the very wide sidewalk, which ends under the old town. So you can pedal calmly looking around, what you will see is splendid.

Menton

Highlight • Other

Menton is a truly magnificent city which has a particular microclimate, even better than that of Nice. The city is sheltered by the mountains which literally fall at the feet of the city and protect it. Its old town is one of the most beautiful on the Mediterranean coast. In winter, the lemon festival gives it even more color. She already has a lot! Menton is located on the border with Italy. People from Menton often go shopping in Ventimiglia, the nearest Italian town which is just over the border. There is an institution in Menton, these are the jams of the Herbin house. I invite you to taste them, by taking a tour of their store.

Tunnel entrance to Peille

Highlight • Structure

Arriving in Peille on your touring bike is a scenic and rewarding experience as you wind your way through the rugged landscape of the Côte d'Azur.
The village, perched on a hilltop, greets you with breathtaking views of the surrounding valleys and mountains. As you approach, you'll discover a beautiful mix of narrow, winding roads and lush greenery, with a final tunnel approach through the rocky cliffs adding a touch of enchantment to your arrival.
