3 guys in Cote d'Azur in April? What do do?
 
I'll be travelling with 2 pals to the French Riviera on the last weekend of April for 3-4 days.

What mobile activities would you recommend? Any motorsport there? Jet Skiing? Kayaking? etc?

Thanks in advance
Karl

The most activity along the French Riviera is guys watching girls.

Certainly there are some motosport and offshore boat racing but don't loose your focus-girls are looking for guys too.

Enjoy

Thanks. It will be of course be done in abundance but as we are all married we'll have to let our steam out somewhere else, thus the question about adrenaline activities.

I don't know where you'll be on the Riviera, but at most beaches you can waterski, and do other things like hang on a parachute behind a speedboat. That sort of thing. Prices vary wildly, so do check before agreeing to something.
I've heard from friends about rafting, not sure of the exact location, but it was inland, not too far from Cagnes; Roquefort les Pins perphaps? If I remember the location, I'll post it.
Sailing is always an option too; if you go around the ports, you will find lots of notices about day trips.

Can you jetski in late April? Have the rentals opened then?

I'm sorry for such a glib answer. Here's a site which might able to give you some choices.

There should have more up-to-date information towards April.

I'll see if I can find more. Maybe you Google for PACA and look for sports. This is more than just the coastal areas but maybe this would still be worthwhile.

Thanks. That site looks very helpful.

In Nice you can rollerblade along the Promenade des Anglais, if that appeals to you.
