Cote d'Azur road cycling

Road Cycling: Esterel-Agay-Corniche d'Or-Antheor-Esterel
Distance: 40k
This is one of the most scenic and glamorous rides anywhere in Europe. Sadly, I didn't have time to enjoy the superbly enjoyable loop that I devised in 2011 (via Cannes and the Col de Testanier) but had to settle for a ride down to Agay then along the coast to the most spectacular views beyond Antheor. The contrast of the deep blue sea and the towering red rocks of the Esterel is at its most impressive here. Warm evening weather, fantastic cycling.
