This route takes you into the Esterel national park west of Cannes. Take a train to Cannes and ride out along the sandy beach – or, if you want a long (160km) ride, simply head out along the cycle path from Nice.

The Esterel coast road starting from Théoule-sur-Mer is beautiful, winding through secluded coves and up and down into pretty village ports. Just before Saint Raphaël head north and into the red-rocked hills, and then descend from Les Adrets, famous for its mimosa flowers in the winter, back towards Cannes.

RIDE INSIGHTS.

The famous climb to Tanneron is known by local cyclists as ‘La Montée du Grand Duc’, the Grand Duc being the forest which was infected with yellow after mimosa trees were first imported and planted here in the late 19th century.
