Following each day's ride, you'll enjoy relaxing in our deluxe and luxury hotels that have been carefully chosen for their location on the Riviera. In addition, since we're on the coast, you'll enjoy nightly dinners featuring the freshest seafood, pastas, and local vintages from two of the world's finest wine producers.
