Bed, Breakfast, Ride & Repeat
Want to ride the amazing roads around Nice? But don’t know how or don’t want to travel with your bike? Challenge accepted. We now rent out all-road / gravel bikes.
The brand-new carbon bikes are equipped with electronic 12 speed SRAM gearing to tackle the steepest hills and disc brakes for the fast descents. What are you waiting for?
We will pick you up at the airport, host you at our Bed & Breakfast and you get to do what you love the most. That’s what we call Bed, Breakfast, Ride & Repeat.

“We had our base there during a cycling holiday in the late summer of 22, and had some fantastic rides with Jesper as a knowledgeable guide.
Jesper knows the area like the back of his hand, which is a huge plus in terms of route planning (both gravel and road), and also with a view to finding the best spots for refreshments 😊”
Bike
There is something almost zen about cycling alone in the mountains. You alone in nature.
But it is also fun cycling together in a group or with a guide. If you would like company on your bike rides in the area, then Jesper is happy to be your guide. He knows most of the local roads and all the small cafes and bistros for the all important coffee stop.
Contact him to discuss ideas and arrange for your perfect day(s) in the saddle.
We can of course also create .gpx files for your bike computer if you prefer to ride in solitude.
“I went on a three-day cycling tour in the area with Jesper as guide.
Great trip and great area!”
Please feel free to view many more bike photos on our Instagram profile @Nice.Cyclist.
Jesper will create routes tailored to your wishes. We have arranged everything from 3 hard days with more than 100 km / 1000 m elevation gain per day to a photo safari where our guest had to find and document 8 objects along a 25 km route.
The terrain is ideal for cycling. Most roads are small and almost without cars. We can see the mountains from our house and can climb 3000 m on a 100 km route if that sounds like fun. Or we can ride our gravel bikes through the Tanneron and Esterel nature parks.
“Went on one of the most beautiful and toughest gravel bike-tours that I have tried, it was in Esterél, with Jesper as guide, it was literally breath-taking in every way. It must be some kind of Gravel-heaven. I can highly recommend this area.”
Our area also offers good options for mountain bikers. Each year Roc d’Azur, which is described as Woodstock for bike-geeks, takes place with 20.000 participants, 300 exhibitors and 150.000 participants.
So regardless if you are the next Chris Froome or just starting out, we will find a route that suits you. It doesn’t matter if you are staying at Maison Bellevue or just visiting the area please feel free to call or contact us then we will help make your ride a success.
Hike
We also organise hiking tours in the area. We can setup everything from a stroll along the Mediterranean to a full day backpacking in the mountains. A few pictures from our hikes in the area:
Weather
Average temperatures allows for an all-year outdoor season of hiking and biking.
“I have not cycled in the south of France before, but my expectations were high – both for the landscape, the weather and the cycling experiences.
The meeting with Jesper and Bonnie is without parallel the most positive welcome and hospitality I have experienced as a traveller. It obviously makes a big difference that they have in-depth knowledge of your needs when you travel to experience any of the cycling experiences in the area. Jesper cycles and has cycled on every small road and other paths that are less accessible than that, so with his routes you get around the countryside on roads and paths that you would never have found yourself or had the courage to test. They have been tested, and Jesper plan the routes according to one’s wishes and need for challenges.
The beauty of the house and the village can be seen for yourself in the photos on their website. I might add that the pictures do not disappoint. On the contrary, it is better than it looks, and as others have also written, it is great to be able to wake up to home-baked bread before checking the tire pressure and filling the bike bottles with water. Everything more than fully met my high expectations.
Thank you for a great (but too short) stay.
See you – chapeau from here”.
