Vespa scooter rental to explore the French Riviera

About this tour

Rent a classic Vespa and navigate the Côte d'Azur's coastal roads at your own pace. This one-day rental covers the French Riviera's clifftop villages—Eze, Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, Cap d'Ail—and tucked-away beaches inaccessible by car. Choose between nimble 50cc or more powerful 125cc models, both supplied with helmet, gloves, and padlock. Unlimited kilometres, third-party insurance, and roadside support included. Perfect for riders wanting the freedom to duck down narrow lanes and discover hidden coves without tour-group constraints.

Highlights

• Coastal switchbacks with Mediterranean views from handlebar level
• Access hilltop villages impossible to reach by standard transport
• Two-rider capacity on a single iconic machine
• Unlimited kilometres across Provence's most scenic routes
• Complete safety kit: helmets, gloves, security lock
• Choice of 50cc city scooters or 125cc highway-ready bikes

What to expect

You'll collect your Vespa with a full briefing on the model's quirks and local road conditions. The 50cc suits pottering through narrow village streets; the 125cc handles longer stretches and motorway sections more comfortably. Riding along the Corniche is exhilarating—hairpin bends, sudden descents, salt air—but demands your attention. Stop-start traffic in towns like Menton differs sharply from open-road cruising. Petrol is your responsibility, as are parking fines. The deposit (€800–€1000) reflects the machine's value; small scratches or mechanical issues aren't always free.
