Nice

Nice, France. Think Cote d'Azur, the French Riviera. Twenty kilometers to one side is Monaco; just a little further going the other way to the Film Festival in Cannes.
The Cote D'Azur (the French Riviera) is renowned for its beaches or more likely for the scantily clad beach goers. The swim follows the rich tradition long distance racing here in Nice.
The bike course for the Ironman France is, simply put, like no other. It's unforgettable, sensational, scenic, hilly and arguably one of the greatest Ironman challenges.
The four laps of the marathon will most likely quickly drown out the pain of the bike leg, the scenery beach side casting a spell on many competitors. Then there are the sights, sounds and tourism of the famed seafront.
The finish, with its pageantry, fireworks and expected huge crowds will be located at the Promenade des Anglais (avenue de Verdun) opposite the Hôtel Méridien.
