Eze

Our next stop takes us to Eze Village, a medieval town perched on a rocky hill that still resonates with memories from the Roman Empire. Positioned like an eagle's nest at nearly 430 meters above sea level, Eze Village transports visitors back to the 13th century and beyond. Its narrow, picturesque streets, facades concealed by Mediterranean vegetation, and medieval architecture make Eze Village one of the most captivating destinations in France. The splendid views from its exotic gardens atop the hill ensure a visit you'll always remember. This inspiring place left a mark on Friedrich Nietzsche, the influential German philosopher of the 19th century, who lived in Eze and profoundly influenced Western philosophy.This medieval village is encircled by robust defensive walls, cliffs, and houses seemingly hewn from the rock itself. Reminiscent of medieval times, Eze offers magnificent views of the sea, the French Riviera, and even Corsica.
