If you are ever interested in trying out bicycle touring, then we’ve found the perfect place to do it: the French Riviera is a bicycle tourist’s dream. Dedicated and well-signed bike lanes, friendly locals, English speakers everywhere, great food, amazing scenery, and campgrounds every few miles that don’t require reservations and are under 20€ per night. We could complain about the weird weather, which alternated from hot and sunny to chilly and drizzly, but I don’t think we’re allowed.
We are going to be so spoiled after a few more days like this. I hope we can force ourselves to keep moving because I want to see the rest of the world too!
We basically just cycled and did some sightseeing until we were ready to camp, which was near St. Maxime, and then we picked up stuff for dinner at a grocery store and found the next campground along the route that looked pretty good, a small beach-side place with all the expected amenities for €17. We had to take advantage of the beach, so a picnic on the beach watching the sunset was planned.
