Again they promised rain! But it didn’t look too bad when we started riding. Short stop to take a picture in Col de Eze:

500 meters above Mediterranean

We were riding around in Monaco and checked few places there. But didn’t take any nice pictures. And after Menton we continued to Italy… but there it was raining!

View from Sant’Antonio to Latte village and Mediterranean

So we didn’t stay there too long. We came back to La Turbie and decided to go and check the Trophy of Augustus. Just beside the entrance there is a nice viewing point and a perfect view to Monaco!

All those “poor” people down there…

Then with the fee of 6€ we checked this Trophy that was built 6BC!!!
Read more about the trophy here.

Trophy is just a “small” building with balcony for the Emperor Augustus

Then it was already quite nice weather and we continued riding to the mountains. Right from the La Turbie village starts nice road to Peille village and we chose this one!

Tha Balcony road to Peille village

After Peille it was time for Col de Braus.

Serpentine road to Col de Braus

And right after this Col de l’Ablé.

Road to Col de l’Ablé is very narrow (from south)

Pitty that it was already afternoon and we had to return the bike to MotorBikeTrip. But we had very nice time riding the roads near to City of Nice! We will be back!
In the evening we were walking in the city and we saw this beautiful Church -Notre-Dame de Nice:


Full name is Basilique Notre-Dame de l’Assomption

Next day it was only about breakfast, packing and flight back to cold Helsinki… And my wife made a nice video of this day:

Here is the route for this day:
