PROGRAM

Mobilboard Agency - rue Halévy
Meeting point at the Mobilboard agency, 2 steps from the Promenade des Anglais, to get to know your guide who will make you aware of the conditions of use.

The Promenade des Anglais
After the training given by your guide, you will ride on the most famous avenue of Nice! The route that was once only a stony and muddy trail at the beginning of the XIXth century, will offer you the pleasure of gliding along the incomparable sea!
The "Prom" is on the edge of being inscribed on the world heritage of Humanity!


The Ponchettes
At the end of the prom, you will ride along the Ponchettes, whose terraces were a very popular walking path until the 60s. A study project is underway to revive this tradition.
"Pounchetta" means "small point" in the Niçoise language, and thus designates the rocky points of Rauba Capéu. 

Rauba Capéu Wharf
An unmissable stop with a breathtaking view of the Promenade des Anglais, the Ponchettes and the Nice Opera house. Keep your helmet on, because "Rauba capéu" means "fly" and "hat" in French; This place is indeed one of the windiest of the city!

Port Lympia
Enjoy the perspective on Port Lympia, which takes its name from the spring that fed a small lake in this area. The construction of the port began at the end of the eighteenth century and lasted more than a century and a half. You can then observe the yachts mingling with the traditional Pointus of Nice.

Maeterlinck Palace

Originally, the establishment was meant to be a casino to compete with that of Monte-Carlo. But succeeded by the Palais de la Méditerranée in 1928, Maurice Maeterlinck made it the villa Orlamonde, building of 6000m2 surrounded by a garden of 4 hectares!

Today it is a complex of 18 luxurious apartments, overlooking the sea.

The beginning of the construction of the Citadel dates back to the mid-sixteenth century.

The Fort and its ramparts had a fundamental strategic importance for the defense of the county of Savoy.

You will have a unique experience by crossing the bridge levis on your Segway to admire the gardens of the Citadel!

By taking the direction of the port of Villefranche, you will pass in front of the Chapel Saint Pierre.

It was Jean Cocteau who completely redecorated this former chapel of fishermen in 1956.

The ensemble is drawn on religious themes evoking the apostle or on more popular themes such as homage to the gypsies of Saintes-Maries de la Mer.

Enjoy 20 minutes of free time for a drink on one of the many terraces present on the port of Villefranche, or to stroll through the narrow streets of the old town.

The return to Nice will be via the Col de Villefranche sur mer and the medium Corniche, where magnificent views of the Bay of Villefranche and the City will follow one another, so that your eyes can marvel and so that you keep an unforgettable memory of this trip ...
