Èze

Introduction

The village of Èze is a stunning medieval perched village like an eagle's nest atop the cliffs on the Côte d'Azur. This ancient stone village hanging on a steep hilltop above the Mediterranean, with its picturesque stone alleys, superb sea views and romantic flair, is hailed as one of the most moving eagle's-nest villages on the Côte d'Azur. Èze sits atop a coastal cliff between Nice and Monaco, a typical village perché—the whole medieval old village perches high like an eagle's nest on a steep summit, overlooking the vast blue Mediterranean below, with a precipitous terrain and stunning scenery. Strolling this ancient stone village, narrow, winding and steep cobblestone lanes spiral upward underfoot, flanked by rustic stone old houses, twining flowers, and atmospheric craft shops, galleries, restaurants and boutique hotels—everywhere the antique charm and romantic flair of the Middle Ages, like a stone maze suspended in the clouds. Climbing to the Exotic Garden (Jardin Exotique) at the village summit—a garden built on the former castle ruin, planted with cacti and other succulents—you overlook the breathtaking panorama of the Côte d'Azur: the blue Mediterranean, winding coastline and headlands below, sea and sky one, vast and magnificent, one of the most awe-inspiring viewpoints on the entire coast. Exploring the eagle's-nest old village of Èze near Nice, strolling its picturesque stone alleys and overlooking the magnificent sea view is a stunning sight on the Côte d'Azur.
