Starting almost from the city center, Saint-Roch district in Nice (Altitude 17 m), the slopes of the Col d’Eze quickly gain height to finish the climb at an altitude of 507 m.
And it is here, on a parking lot located next to the Auberge de l’Hermitage at the level of a sculpture recalling the passage of the Tour de France in 2020, that the finish line is located.
Raymond Poulidor, Sean Kelly who won Paris-Nice seven years in a row from 1982 to 1988, Bradley Wiggins and more recently Richie Porte have marked this climb, often raced against the clock.
Bradley Wiggins set a record time in 2012 of 19 minutes 12 seconds

From boulevard Bischoffsheim, follow RM 2564 to the summit.
Some quite steep sections at the start at 8%.
500 m after the Chapel, a short flat section allows a breather and to tackle 1 km at 5%;
A 1 km false flat with a positive elevation of 2.5% leads us to the col des Quatre chemins on the Villefranche municipality.
From there, the road climbs to nearly 7%, at the place called le Grand Pins, much feared by cyclists.
At km 8, one can say the ascent is finished.
2 km remain to be done, without elevation with even in the last 500 m a descending false flat
