This year we're going by overnight train from Calais to Nice. We leave on Friday lunchtime, get on a train in Calais and wake up in the South of France !!
This means we get a day running around the south coast, visiting Nice, riding the coast road through beautiful Villefranche, and maybe lunch in Monaco, riding the F1 route and do "the tunnel".
Ride some of the best biking roads in Europe such as the Col du Vars, Col du Galibier, the N85 out of Cannes, infamous St Bernard Pass, and the D902 to Barcalonette. This year is going to be the best yet.
