Èze-Village is a medieval nugget perched on a hill overlooking the Mediterranean. Its narrow, cobbled streets, lined with stone houses and artisan shops, invite exploration. There are exotic gardens offering breathtaking panoramic views.

Èze (Occitan: Esa; Italian (obsolete): Eza; Latin: Isia) is a commune in the Alpes-Maritimes department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in northwestern France. The commune had 2,189 inhabitants on 1 January 2021. The town is part of the arrondissement of Nice. The commune is divided into two parts, the medieval village of Eze Village on the hilltop and, in the valley by the sea, Eze Bord-de-Mer. Between the two there is a district on the mountainside with the neighbouring commune of Cap d'Ail, called Saint-Laurent d'Eze. Eze Village is a tourist attraction and attracts millions of visitors every year. The picturesque view over the French Riviera, from Cap d'Ail to Saint-Jean Cap Ferrat and even to Antibes, can be found on postcards and paintings. Eze Bord-de-Mer is residential, with only a few restaurants, but no shops or high-rise apartment buildings. It is popular as a summer residence for expats and artists.

On the Middle Corniche (coastal road) is Èze Village (430 m), with its narrow, car-free, medieval streets. The succulent garden offers a spectacular view of the cliffs and the Mediterranean. According to his own statements, Friedrich Nietzsche wrote part of his epochal work Also Spoke Zarathustra here in the winter of 1883/84. The Sentier-Friedrich Nietzsche hiking trail is a reminder of this, which the philosopher walked several times during his stay and which he repeatedly praised in his letters for its scenic beauty. A memorial plaque at the entrance to the town commemorates the philosopher. Today the medieval town, like the entire Côte d'Azur, is heavily influenced by tourism. Due to two luxury hotels, many boutiques and bus tourism, part of the originality of the place has been lost. The Grasse perfumeries (Fragonard, Galimard) have branches here.

Èze d’Antan takes place once a year: the medieval Èze. Stalls with medieval crafts, mead serving, many local traders in period costumes and all sorts of performances take visitors back centuries.

Worth the effort to experience the route of this philosopher, beautiful trip tough but doable, think of the heat.

Visit the village in the evening hours, when the flood of tourists has subsided!

The village of Èze is very picturesque. Narrow streets, passageways, archways, many small shops and at the very top of the village a garden with exotic plants. There is an entrance fee.
