Nice is one of the most-visited Mediterranean destinations in the South of France. You can explore Nice in different ways. You can opt for a walking tour, sightseeing tour, segway tour, etc. But have you considered visiting the gorgeous highlights of Nice by taking part in a private bike tour? 

Over the course of the last few years, Nice has put a lot of hard work into developing and improving its cycle path.

Your next stop will be Saint Nicolas cathedral in Nice. It’s definitely intriguing to visit an Orthodox Church in a catholic country. However, due to a large Russian community that immigrated here in the 19th century, it was necessary to construct a Russian place of worship.

• Promenade du Paillon 

It is an urban park stretching from the National Theater of Nice to the Mediterranean sea. It passes by the Place Massena. It has become Nice’s most attended park and provides refreshment areas, fountains that light up by night and a playground for children.
