La Drapoise René Vietto 2026

Are you looking to take on a legendary challenge in June? 🌞 The La Drapoise René Vietto cyclosportive awaits you in Drap, nestled in the heart of the Alpes-Maritimes, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region 🌄. Surrounded by nature and mountains, you'll pedal along the routes of the Tour de France! This race pays tribute to the great champion René Vietto, born in Cannes and a significant figure in the Tour de France 🚵. At the summit of the Col de Braus, you'll find the stele honoring this famous climber 🪨. The race will have you climbing the wild, typical cols of the Paillon Valleys overlooking Nice. The most famous? The Col de Braus, the heart of this event! 📍

After hopping on your trusty two-wheeled steed (no, not a motorcycle 🏍️), you can challenge yourself on 116 km with 2,750 mD+ or 85 km with 2,025 mD+ 🤯. As you might guess, it’s time to oil your chain 💧 and sharpen those legs 🦵 to conquer the 5th stage of the Granfondo 06 Challenge! Not sure what that is? 🤔 Get ready to tackle the distances and elevation 📈. The challenge consists of 7 races plus a bonus event in Italy to top it off! 🤌 On the agenda (and in order, please 🤓): the Mercan'Tour Madone Peille, the Lazaridès, the Grandfondo La Vençoise, the Mercan'tour Bonette, Les Cimes du Mercantour, and finally the Alpes Verdon Tour! 🤩 If after all this, you're not ready for the Tour de France, we won't understand! 😅

After giving your best on the winding roads of the Alpes-Maritimes ⛰️, why not extend your stay and explore the surroundings? 🧳 Not far away, you'll find Nice 🏖️, where you can relax your legs strolling along the famous Promenade des Anglais or explore the charming streets of Old Nice! 🥰 If you want to even out your cyclist tan lines 😎, just lay out on one of the pebble beaches 🌴. For those with a taste for luxury 💎, Monaco is less than an hour from Drap ☝️. You can visit the famous Prince's Palace, wander through the Princess Grace Gardens 🌺. And since you've climbed so much, maybe try your luck at the Monte Carlo Casino? 🎲 For those drawn here by the call of adventure, head to Menton, known for its calm atmosphere and famous lemons 🍋.

So, are you eager to join? 😉
