Nice, the ideal city for road-trips in south-east France

Nice is an ideal starting point for discovering the Côte d'Azur, Provence and Italy. Situated between the Mediterranean, the mountains and the Italian border, the city offers direct access to a variety of itineraries for road trip enthusiasts. It was in Nice, after a 125cc adventure with a friend, that the founder of Good Motors Agency had the idea of creating a self-service motorcycle rental service. Our bikes are now available, self-service, in the parking lots at the railway station and airport!

The town is beautiful, and we can't recommend it enough as a place to ride your bike, but it's also a good base from which to visit the beautiful surrounding areas.
