My name is Léa Pinglot, I’m 33 years old and I live in Nice. I work for Nice Cote d’Azur Metropolitan Convention and Visitors Bureau as Leisure Tourism Development Manager.
I moved to Nice from Paris three years ago and I started cycling at that time. Nice represents more than a city for me, it’s a way of life. I love its shades of blues, from the sky to the Mediterranean, its natural light, the colors of the buildings and of the flowers, the mountains around, its “dolce vita” feel, all year long. I first started cycling within the city and on the iconic Promenade des Anglais. From there, I could not stop exploring. Nice is the perfect place to start and end a bike ride.
Coastal vibe, mountain challenges, perched villages… rides with views on both the Mediterranean Sea and the Alps… It’s the perfect place to spend a day on the bike. I love the freedom that cycling provides.
Depending on the day, I would either chill on my bike on the coast or decide to challenge myself with one of the iconic climbs around (Col de Braus, Turini, Vence, Madonne…). At the end, it’s all about the happiness of spending a day outside in Nice Côte d’Azur!
