Cote d’Azur Multisport

Cassis Cote d'Azur

Cote d'Azur Multisport Vacation  

Our Côte d'Azur Multisport trip is up and running! Be ready for fun in the sun, art and adventure, culture and charm. We'll explore seaside fishing villages, national parks and cultural meccas. The Côte d'Azur provides the perfect opportunity to mix it up between rafting & relaxation, hiking & high living, cycling & culture; never pushing too hard of course.

We begin in the magnificent Calanques of Cassis, often called the fjords of France. Originally cut by glaciers in the last ice age, these limestone cliffs seem to rise directly out of the shimmering Mediterranean and are an ideal spot for our gourmet picnic. We'll cruise into this nature lover's paradise on a private boat and hike a few of the cliffs before settling down to eat. While in Cassis, cycle to the sleepy fishing village of Bandol and its red wine grown within reach of the ocean's mists, giving a unique mineral saltiness.

From here we transfer to St. Paul de Vence and Nice. For centuries this area has been the cultural stomping ground of artists, royalty and aristocrats. Kings of England, Russian monarchs, Chagall, Picasso and Matisse, they all came here to relish the beauty and tranquility. But we don’t want to miss out on some of the fun! Amongst all the calm, we’ll spend one day rafting the Gorges du Verdon, the largest canyon in Europe. As the trip winds down we’ll visit the Old Town in Nice, the walled hilltop village of St. Paul (keep your eyes out for art treasures adorning the walls of buildings) and enjoy the sun on the famous beaches of the French Riviera.
