Salt air cuts across the handlebars as you roll off the coastal road and into a sliver of Mediterranean blue. The ride opens along wide promenades and cliff‑hugging lanes, the bay of Villefranche-sur-Mer unfurling below like a private harbor; later the sea will dare you onto a paddleboard, the peninsula of Saint‑Jean‑Cap‑Ferrat rising like an old guardian ahead.

Start Early for Calm Water
Mornings tend to be flatter and clearer for paddleboarding; afternoon sea breezes can make the open leg choppier.
Use the Provided Helmet
E‑bike helmets are supplied — don’t skip them; coastal roads are narrow in places and a helmet improves safety and confidence.
Pack Reef‑Safe Sunscreen
You’ll be exposed on the bike and on the water — use reef‑safe sunscreen to protect your skin and the marine environment.
Bring a Small Dry Bag
Keep phone, keys and a light layer dry while you paddle — a 5–10 L dry bag is enough for essentials.
Reusable water bottle
Staying hydrated is crucial during the e‑bike and paddle portions of the trip.
Water shoes or sandals with grip
Protects feet on pebble beaches and provides traction getting on and off the board.

Light windbreaker or quick‑dry layer
A thin layer blocks coastal wind and dries quickly after a splash.
spring
Small dry bag (5–10 L)
