Eze
- Address:Eze
- Admission:Free
The tiny village of Eze is one of the jewels of the south of France which is probably why it is chosen as a holiday spot by royalty, the rich and the famous. Perched on a rocky hill above the sea, it could not get any prettier. With narrow cobblestone, pedestrian-only streets, wonderful views of the surrounding hills and the azure water below, it is just as it was centuries ago. One of the most famous inhabitants was Frederic Nietzsche who, in the 1880s, used to walk up and down a hill path to the sea thinking up his philosophy.
At the top of the hill, just above the village, is the exotic garden. Filled with statues of earth goddesses, cacti, winding paths and wonderfully relaxing contemplative spaces and lookout points, this is not to be missed.

Eze was absolutely stunning and the half day tour was more than enough for us. Like all the other reviews this tour should be on your list ! The only thing to remember is you don't get to go inside the casino with the half day tour as it is closed till late afternoon. We really did enjoy this tour and would highly recommend it.

If you are in Nice, you HAVE to go see Monaco, and Eze, definitely a highlight of the time we spent in Nice. I wasn't expecting anything of Eze, but the views from the castle overlooking the mediterranean were moving...the perfumery was eh, but still interesting...then arriving in Monaco, it was great...we opted to go back the following day to hang out and see more...Sylvie was the best tour guide!

Lovely...we left our hotel in Nice(our fantastic guide picked us up there) and went to Cannes, Antibes, Eze and Monaco. It was a sunny beautiful Christmas Day(2011) and my sons(13 and 15) and I, had a blast. All those cities are amazing. I Highly Recommend it. We love tours, but this one, was our favorite. "Robert", our tour guide, was great...we loved him!!!! Can't hardly wait to go back to "Côte d'Azur".
