Insider knowledge that makes your holiday better.
Visit early in the morning (before 10 AM) or late in the afternoon – during the day, the narrow streets can get very crowded with cruise tourists.
Sturdy footwear for the Chemin de Nietzsche is a must – the path is steep and rocky, but the reward at the sea is fantastic.
There is an Èze-Village (up) and Èze-Bord-de-Mer (down by the sea) – do not confuse them when booking hotels!
The Château Eza restaurant has one of the best terraces on the Riviera – reservations even just for a drink are worth it.
