The Experience

Place Masséna is where you meet your guide and pick up your e-bike. From there, the ride glides along the Promenade des Anglais—the palm-lined seafront that made Nice famous—with the Mediterranean on one side and the city's red-façaded buildings on the other. You pass the colourful Port Lympia, where fishing boats and yachts crowd the water, and then the motor carries you up the coast to Villefranche-sur-Mer, the medieval fishing town where Hitchcock shot To Catch a Thief and The Bourne Identity.

The climb to Fort du Mont Alban is where the e-bike earns its place. The 16th-century fortress sits high above the bay, and the motor does the work while you take in the views—a panorama that runs from the Italian border to the Estérel mountains, the kind of sight most travellers never reach because the walk up is steep. Your guide fills the ride with the stories behind each stop: the kings and artists who shaped the coast, the film sets, the history woven into the landscape. A refreshment break halfway through keeps things relaxed, so three hours on the bike never feels like effort.

The e-bike means you cover far more ground than a walking tour could manage, and you arrive at each stop ready to look around instead of catching your breath. The motor is there when you need it; the pedalling is there when the road is flat. Your guide speaks English, Spanish, Italian, French, German or Dutch—choose your language at checkout.
