The final run down to the sea at Nice. From the Turini you descend towards Sospel (keep an eye out just past Moulinet for a small bridge road above you, leading to a lovely little chapel, the Notre Dame de Menor), climb the Col Braus, then a small climb to the last col with great views of the Cote d'Azure. From there you ride a high road with a coastal view before descending to the coast road and Cafe du Cycliste in Nice. The route ends there but it's not far to Nice old town area to explore the market and old town shops, or go onto the Promenade des Anglais and follow the bike path there west towards the airport.

If the timing works for you, stock up in Sospel and enjoy a last night bivi a km or two along the track after the Col Braus. Beyond here it becomes harder to find good bivi sites and the views to the south west are nice from here. Strict Leave No Trace / ‘don't be a dick’ rules apply of course - take your litter with you and find a bin for it. Top marks to anyone carrying cold beers to share up here (wrap the in a jacket or sleeping bag, they'll stay cold for a while!).

Stopping at Café du Cycliste, or one of the bars on that road if you finish later, is traditional. There’s an Utile supermarket just behind the Café, a good spot for cheaper beers, also an Intermarche nearby. After that, ride past the old town area of Nice (to the north of Quai des Etats-Unis, well worth exploring), then onto the Promenade des Anglais toward the airport.
