View of Èze

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the Route de Nice, near Fuont Nova, the view of Èze is simply spectacular. Perched on the mountainside, this medieval village overlooks the Mediterranean, offering a breathtaking panorama of the sea and the Côte d'Azur. The narrow streets and stone houses of Èze seem suspended between sky and sea.

Col de la Madone

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Famed as a training hill, exactly where the pros commence their battle with the clock on the ‘classic’ start is a constant cause of debate. Regardless of how long it takes, a successful summit is rewarded with a view towards Peille and the higher mountains with Madone being a gateway Col that unlocks the door to a whole host of other climbs and routes in the Alpes Maritimes.

Col de la Madone is part of our Montagnes à la Carte series, head over to bit.ly/3BmcclB and claim your badge if you rode this classic.

Bay of Menton (view from Ste Agnès)

Highlight • Other

Classified among the “Most beautiful villages in France”, Sainte-Agnès has also earned the label of “the highest coastal village in Europe”. Two assets that make it an essential stopover in the Menton area! Belvedere over the Mediterranean culminating at 760 meters above sea level, it offers a breathtaking panorama of the big blue. In its medieval streets, you will go back in time, discovering the workshops of artists and craftsmen. History enthusiasts will admire the remains of its castle, its medieval garden, and of course the Fort de la Ligne Maginot, dug into the cliff.
