This route, created by the former European Triathlon Champion, Yves Cordier, will be the opportunity to climb the mythical Col de Vence (963 m) and to return by roads forgotten by traffic, passing through the typical Provencal villages of the middle Côte d'Azur region: Coursegoules, Bouyon and le Broc.
The return to Nice is quick and follows the right bank of the Var via Saint-Laurent du Var, before taking the seaside bike path.
