A medieval village perched 420 meters above the Mediterranean with a cactus garden at the summit and panoramic views stretching from Italy to Cap d'Antibes.
Why It’s Worth Your Time
Èze is a much-photographed places on the Riviera — a honey-colored medieval village clinging to a clifftop above the sea. The Jardin Exotique at the summit has extraordinary cactus plantings and views that extend from the Italian border to Cap d'Antibes on a clear day. The village's narrow lanes are lined with artisan studios, galleries, and the Château de la Chèvre d'Or (one of the Riviera's finest hotels). Accessible by bus from Nice (45 minutes) or the famous Nietzsche Path on foot from the shore.
