Eze Electric Bike Tour: 50km Corniche Ride with Garden Entry

Electric bikes let you climb 50 kilometers of mountain road without feeling the work.

A 4-hour electric bike tour from Nice covers 50 kilometers to the village of Eze, with entrance to the Exotic Garden, a drink, and a guide who speaks English or French. The route follows the Grand Corniche and Mont Alban Fort, passing sea views and the famous Corniche roads used in the Tour de France. Riders need to be at least 14 years old and in good cardiovascular health; the return journey involves significant climbing, but the electric motor removes the strain.

The Experience

The tour starts with a 40-minute drive from Nice to Eze, where you'll pick up your electric bike and helmet. From there, the 50-kilometer circuit unfolds across the Corniche roads—the same legendary climb that features in the Tour de France. The elevation is real, but the electric motor does the heavy lifting; you steer and pedal, and the bike carries you up. The route passes Mont Alban Fort on the way back, where you'll see across to Italy and past the residence of Elton John, all while the sea spreads out below.

Once you reach Eze village, you'll have about an hour to walk through the narrow streets, visit the Exotic Garden (entrance included), and browse the Fragonard shop for souvenirs. The guide keeps the bikes secure while you explore. The garden sits at the summit and opens onto panoramic views toward Italy. You won't queue at the entrance—the tour operator has a pass that lets you walk straight in.

The ride back down the Corniche is where the views settle in. You'll cover the Grand Corniche, one of the three Corniche roads that ring the coast, and finish the day having ridden through the landscape instead of watching it pass a window. A drink is included, and the guide speaks English or French throughout.
