Your Cote d'Azur Gravel Tour Adventure
Your Day by Day Itinerary
Day 1- Arrive & Unwind
Touch down in Nice and we’ll take it from there. You’ll be transferred to our dreamy base, a former convent turned rustic-chic retreat with a view straight out to sea. Once you've settled in and tuned your bike, we’ll gather for a welcome dinner. It’s the perfect chance to meet your group, share stories, and get briefed for the ride ahead.
Day 2 - The Hidden Gems of Nice
60km total distance
Get ready to climb—today’s ride heads deep into the hills above Nice. You’ll traverse secret gravel trails, roll through remote villages, and gaze across landscapes where snow-dusted peaks meet Mediterranean blue.
At lunch, stop for a mountaintop picnic with the kind of view that silences a crowd. Then it’s back to base for a well-earned chill before dinner with your new gravel crew.
Today's elevation is 1,400m.
Day 3 - Red Rocks & Blue Sea
70km total distance
After breakfast, we’ll hop in the van and transfer to the Estérel Massif—a geological marvel where fiery red cliffs meet pine-scented singletrack. The riding here is pure bliss: no cars, just twisting trails and photo-op moments around every corner.
Enjoy a lakeside lunch, explore hidden forest tracks, and soak up the silence before heading back to Nice for a traditional Niçoise dinner in the old town.
Today's elevation is 1,500m.
Day 4 - Finale with a View
25km total distance
Our final ride offers two routes, both packed with punchy climbs, historic villages, and gravel goodness. Whether you go long or keep it chilled, everyone meets at the Col d’Èze for the grand finale. From here, take in sweeping views over the Riviera before descending back for a celebratory brunch and farewell hugs.
We will provide an airport transfer back to Nice.
Today's elevation is 500m or you can choose the longer route of 38km and 700m of elevation.

What our Cyclists Say
Awesome customer Service like it used to be. When planning my husband's 50th birthday and knowing very little about cycling I decided to try Love Velo and I can't recommend them, and the service I've received from James Danvers highly enough.

I booked through Love Velo because the reviews were so good. I wasn't disappointed. Right from my first contact with LV they were easy to talk to and although I dithered (my first cycling trip abroad) they didn't press me. When I eventually confirmed my booking they took care of everything.

Everything about Love Velo has been faultless. From the initial notification of them teaming up with Le Col and to the pricing being unbelievable and then the customer service, top class. James, if all the staff are as attentive to every detail as you are then everyone will be as lucky as I have been. 100% at some point, hopefully in the near future I will be booking again with you guys. Thank you again
