    It's so common to go inline skating in French cities and towns, and here in Nice in particular, in the long stretch of the Nice promenade, some 7 km of level runs.
    The promenade actually has a bike path and occasionally motor bikes run along and park themselves near the beach. Inline skaters have a free flow amid the pedestrians as the place is not densed with people all the time.
    Wear a pair of sunglasses and a sunshade. One weather tip to note: as wind is so strong from the west, going eastward is a lot smoother and faster.

    Equipment: Just an ordinary pair of inlines and smart wear for outdoor sports. No need for protective gear if you are not into extreme running.

    Directions: A leisurely cruise on inlines for the 7 km run takes about 15 minutes. I can sprint all the way under 10 minutes.

    Sports Travel: Overlooking Monaco
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]

    Cruise eastward along the promenade to the high point, the beach head, and look over the beautiful harbour of Monaco. By all means go all the way down if you are ready to climb the gradient again. See how strong the wind blows on a well-tanned me up this vantage point.

    Cruise along the blue Med on inlines as palm trees roll by, a great way to fly. Soak in the evening sun as you go westwards.

    Sports Travel: The right gear for inlines
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • Theme: Beach Activities


    Equipment: I usually go sports travelling with my pair of demountable inlines. They are not heavy at all, but booted up rather high. The wheel frames are sturdy and easily transportable.
