Nice to Villefranche E-bike Tour with Picnic & Pétanque
This tour is all about enjoying a fun and relaxing ride along the beautiful French Riviera with fellow travellers. With our comfortable E-bikes, the ride is easy and smooth. This makes even climbing the hills feel like a piece of cake, so you can simply relax and enjoy the views.
Along our way to the beach in Villefranche-sur-Mer, we’ll stop several times to admire breathtaking panoramic views over Nice, Villefranche and Cap Ferrat. And…..plenty opportunities to update your Insta, Tiktok and even Linkedin 😉 At one of our favourite spots on the hill, we’ll take a break for a quick and fun game of Pétanque, followed by a relaxed picnic with great scenery all around.
After that, we continue riding down to the beautiful beach in Villefranche, where you’ll have time for a quick swim or simply enjoy the atmosphere before we head back to Nice.
This tour focuses more on enjoying the ride, the views, Pétanque game and the beach. Of course, your local guide will still share interesting stories about the region and give you plenty of great tips, especially the best local food spots and places to visit along the French Riviera for the remaining of your holiday.
It’s the perfect way to start your holiday in Nice and the French Riviera!

Detailed Itinerary
Promenade des Anglais
We will cycle along the famous Promenade des Anglais. Here, we will enjoy amazing views and make a few stops to learn some interesting history and facts about the promenade and beach, along with tips and recommendations. But most importantly, this is where you will have your first full cycling experience on the promenade with our E-bikes!
The Port of Nice – Port Lympia
Lympia, as in “limpid”, refers to the crystal clear waters of the port. Here we experience the contrast of the old world charms with the Italian palazzos that line it against the modern megayachts moored just beneath. One megayacht is probably worth more than one palazzo!
In a quiet corner, we will see traditional fishing boats (the “Pointus”) that most visitors miss.
Coco Beach
Before we begin our climb up the hill, we need to make a quick stop at Nice's (our opinion) most beautiful hidden beach! 🙂
Mont Boron
As we climb up the Mont Boron, we really appreciate the electrical assistance of our eBikes and this is where many guests tell us they will buy one at home! At the ridge, when we ride through the Mont Boron city park, it is hard to believe that we’re still within the city limits of Nice.
The quiet roads are lined with olive and oak trees and every metre we climb opens up even more incredible views of the Mediterranean Sea.
Mont Alban
The summit of Mont Boron houses Elton John and the fortress of Mont Alban. If the fortress were in North America, it would be a national icon. It’s in great condition despite being 500 years old, and ignored by most. We are not able to enter as it’s not open to the public.
At 200 m / 600 ft above sea level, this is the best place to look down on the rich and famous in Cap Ferrat, summer residence of Paul Allen, Adam Clayton, Somerset Maugham, Isadora Duncan, David Niven, Charlie Chaplin – and maybe yourself one day?
Medieval Town of Villefranche
Villefranche has a medieval village centre hidden behind its colourful Ligurian seafront façade. You might recognise the scenery from countless movies like Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Never Say Never Again, The Bourne Identity, and To Catch a Thief.
We have our picnic (own expense) on the gorgeous beach of Villefranche before returning to Nice.
