HILLS - CIMIEZ - ROMAN RUINS - MONASTERY - GARDENS - WATERFALL - PANORAMAS - NATURE

A fantastic bike ride on the heights of the Nice Hills, off-the-beaten-tracks, to discover the richness of its Belle Époque residential districts (Cimiez Hill, Roman ruins, monasteries & gardens, a magnificent waterfall) and to enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of Nice. A crossing of its most beautiful hills & its hinterland from where you will admire the roofs of the city from a new perspective.

We will start with a crossing of the hill of Cimiez where we will evoke the Roman foundation of the city around the largest site of Roman ruins in the south-east of France, and the history of the crowned heads in Nice around the fantastic Belle Époque Palaces such as the Regina Palace of the Queen of England. We will pass through beautiful flowered alleys and their villas to the tranquility of Cimiez Franciscan Monastery and its rose gardens overlooking the pearl of the French Riviera.

Then, we will continue to climb to the higher heights of Nice's hinterland where different panoramic points will be the pretext to discover the new facets of the city and its hidden heritage, including an Off-the-Beaten-Tracks path, a canal & a great waterfall.

From there, and depending on your desires, we can go to discover some central districts of Nice or to see a small authentic village, perched vineyards above the Var valley (OPTION:  Wine Tasting and visit of vineyards of Bellet) or a mysterious monument (OPTION: Hiking).
