🇫🇷 Èze, France — A Fairytale Village on the French Riviera

Èze is one of the most beautiful hilltop villages on the French Riviera, perched dramatically between Nice and Monaco. With its narrow medieval streets, stone houses and breathtaking views over the Mediterranean, Èze feels like a living postcard. 🌊

What makes Èze special?

The village is built high above the sea, with winding cobblestone lanes leading through ancient stone buildings, tiny boutiques, art galleries and charming cafés.

The highlight is Le Jardin Exotique, a beautiful exotic garden built on the ruins of the old medieval castle. From the top, you get spectacular panoramic views across the Mediterranean.

How to get there

From Nice, you can reach Èze by bus or train. One important point: Èze train station is down by the sea, while the famous medieval Èze Village is high on the hill. If you arrive by train, you’ll need to take a bus or walk the steep Nietzsche Path up to the village.

From Monaco, Èze is also an easy day trip.
