Triathlons in the Alpes-Maritimes

This area of over four thousand square kilometers offers incredible biodiversity and an impressive contrast between the sea and the mountain ⛰️. You can easily go from a race by the sea to a real nature run among the pines 🌲. Or even opt for a mountain race if your legs are strong! 💪

Here, people sometimes still speak Nissart or Mentonasque, with the proud red eagle as the departmental symbol 🦅. After tackling the elevation gain on your bike, you'll deserve a good slice of socca or a pan bagnat prepared to perfection 🤤. In terms of cinema, the shadow of the Festival hovers over the Croisette, while winding roads recall Alfred Hitchcock's film To Catch a Thief 🎬. There's no denying it's much more glamorous to suffer on the same roads as Cary Grant or Grace Kelly, right? 😎 You can even salute the ghosts of celebrities passing by the magnificent Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild or the legendary palaces 🏰.
