The first pedal push comes with salt on the air and the Mediterranean opening to your right, the Corniche bench stretching like an invitation. Riders roll out from Pointe Rouge along wide cycle paths, past the low, fragrant scrub that leans toward the sea and parks that catch light in the late afternoon. The route moves between beaches, Prado’s broad relaxation lawns, and the manicured lanes of Parc Borély before the Corniche Kennedy unfurls its 3 km coastal ribbon.
