About Èze
Èze perches like an eagle's nest on a 429-meter-high rock above the Mediterranean and is considered one of the most spectacular mountain villages on the entire Côte d'Azur. The medieval village, with its narrow cobbled streets and the exotic cactus garden on the castle ruins, offers a panoramic view that extends all the way to Corsica. German visitors are fascinated by the perfect blend of history, nature, and Provençal lifestyle in this car-free picture-book setting. The famous Fragonard perfumery and artisanal workshops invite exploration before walking down the Friedrich Nietzsche path to the sea.

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.
