Perfect gravel trail - a must!

A track with a good surface, perfectly suited to gravel (no large stones), great views of the landscape, an interesting difference in altitude. Very good junction to the Mont Chauve road from Aspremont. To do !

Chapelle Saint-Michel des Cèdres

Highlight • Religious Site

The Saint Michel des Cèdres chapel is worth a look as much for its architecture, for the statue inside as for the avenue of monumental cedars which lead to the chapel. A magnificent place.

A very panoramic view of the region: on the left the Paillon valley, on the right the Var valley and in the background Nice and the Mediterranean. The break is obligatory at this place!

January 9, 2025,Mont Férion - Gravel ++ avec Paula

A great gravel loop that starts at Rifugio, 3 rue Boyer, right in the center of Nice. Leave the city by the heights towards Mont Chauve and go explore the gravel tracks. We will take you on one of the three climbs that lead to Mont Ferion, the one on the Duranus side, the steepest, but peaceful, it is only …

March 4, 2023,Massacan Classico - Paula au Mont Férion

This time it was pretty simple, a day-out, between friends, up to well-known gravel climb and back.

We like those simple days. We love to start and finish in Nice, by bike only. No car, no train, no plane or ferry.
