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.

This short combination tour pairs a gentle electric bike circuit through coastal villages with a guided paddle out to Cap Ferrat. Villefranche began as a fishing port, its sheltered deep-water bay prized by traders and navies; the shoreline is largely limestone and pebble, scoured by wind and waves into small coves that shelter clear, snorkel-friendly water. Cap Ferrat developed in the 19th century into an enclave of grand villas — Villa Ephrussi sits nearby — giving the route a mix of working‑coastal history and Belle Époque architecture to scan between pedal strokes.
Practically, expect about four hours total: a 30–45 minute e‑bike segment along coastal roads (8–12 km, minimal elevation), time in Villefranche to swap gear, then roughly an hour on the paddleboard with snorkeling stops; total paddle distance is typically 3–6 km depending on the route and conditions.
Guides supply helmets, e‑bikes, paddleboards and snorkel gear; bring sun protection, a refillable water bottle and shoes that grip wet rocks. The tour suits beginners and experienced paddlers alike but watch wind forecasts — the bay is protected, the open side toward Cap Ferrat can get choppy in afternoon sea breezes.
The tour is rated easy; e‑bikes provide pedal assistance and the paddle is guided, but basic balance and the ability to stand for short periods are helpful.
Yes — snorkel mask and fins are provided as part of the activity for underwater stops off Cap Ferrat.
Meet in Villefranche-sur-Mer near the waterfront; public transport from Nice is frequent (train or bus) and there is local parking if you drive.
Operators may cancel in high winds or heavy rain for safety; standard cancellation typically allows a full refund if canceled 24 hours prior or in case of bad weather.
