St Andre is an ideal training area for triathletes with warm lake water for swimming ,
quiet roads for riding and running and plenty of off road trails for variety. If your planning on doing the Nice triathlon why not come and spend some time acclimatising. 
I can offer transport for you and your equipment to and from the airport and the race.
Check out the Nice Triathlon filmed by Ray recently in 2007

" I used to call myself a Triathlete - maybe if I'd spent time here I could have been...the lakes are a lot more inviting than cold reservoirs in Derbyshire where I used to train !"
