Côte d'Azur Café Ride Tour
The coffee ride is an important ritual in the cycling world, and we think the Côte d’Azur is one of the best places in the world for it. Most local pro riders would agree, and you can spot them in cafés along the Riviera, usually on their recovery days. Charming mountain villages and picturesque seaside towns offer an endless choice of places to stop and soak in the local ambiance, breathtaking views, and a cup of your favorite coffee. Whether it’s an easy spin along the Riviera with a coffee destination as the main goal of the day, a pick-me-up stop before attacking an epic climb, or a mix of both – your Côte d’Azur Café Ride Tour is fully customized so you can make the most of our beautiful roads and enjoy an authentic French Riviera cycling experience.
Coffee with a World Champion Barista & a Pro
If you want a unique and private experience, opt for our bespoke gourmet coffee stations set up just for you and your travel companions at scenic spots along your route. For the ultimate VIP coffee experience, ride with 2013 “Coffee in Good Spirits” barista world champion Victor Delpierre and enjoy his exceptional specialty coffees along with the exceptional views.
For a truly unforgettable day, we can arrange for a local pro or ex-pro cyclist to join your group! What can be better than sharing stories about pro cycling on a convivial ride while enjoying the best coffee in the world?
