Our Côte d’Azur Multisport trip is up and running! Be ready for fun in the sun, art and adventure, culture and charm, all while exploring seaside villages and cultural meccas. We’ll mix it up between relaxation and pampering, to cycling, hiking and kayaking.
We’ll begin in the magnificent Calanques of Cassis, often called the fjords of France. Originally cut by glaciers, these limestone cliffs seem to rise directly out of the shimmering Mediterranean and are a nature lovers dream… an ideal spot for our gourmet picnic while exploring them by kayak. From Cassis we’ll head to the sleepy fishing village of Bandol and it’s red wines grown within reach of the ocean’s spray, which gives them a distinctly mineral saltiness. Cycling Bandol is a unique experience as we take in the tranquil coastline and the gorgeous wine country… stopping for a tasting of course!
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! Cycle down from your hilltop hotel to the yachting center of Antibes and along the coast to the world famous town of Cannes. 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.
