Your first cycling stage takes you east along the coastline through Le Pradet and Carqueiranne. The route offers a mix of flat sections and gentle climbs with sea views, passing sandy beaches and small marinas. You’ll finish the day in Le Lavandou, a relaxed seaside town with a long waterfront promenade, perfect for an evening walk.
Today’s ride continues along the coast, passing through small villages and scenic bays. You’ll cycle past Mediterranean pine forests and turquoise waters before reaching Saint-Tropez. Known for its old fishing port, luxury yachts, and lively atmosphere, it’s a great place to explore on foot before dinner.
From Saint-Tropez, you’ll head north to Sainte-Maxime and then follow the coast through the Esterel region. The red cliffs and coastal curves make this a very scenic stage. You’ll arrive in Saint-Raphaël, a resort town with plenty of cafés, restaurants, and a pleasant seaside promenade.
This stage takes you along the famous Corniche d’Or, with cliffs dropping straight into the sea and panoramic views at every turn. The route includes some climbing but rewards you with unforgettable scenery. The day ends in Cannes, known for its film festival, luxury shops, and sandy beaches along La Croisette.
Your final full day of cycling is also one of the most varied.
