I used to be based in Antibes. Wasn't into road biking then so rode mostly CC - which was amazing round there. But on the roads, if you go geared and head inland it is, as pete says, mind blowing. I remember heading up behind San Remo once and being able to see snow on Corsica 70 miles away.
I was out driving down from a big col aways inland from there once. Nothing in my mirror for a long way. Few seconds later I was overtaken by an entire team, came around both sides of the car. Appeared out of nowhere. Turns out it was the old USPS team who were doing a training camp nearby. Nuts. Classic cycling country.
