(Last Update: 02.08.2024) One of the most beautiful villages you can see in France I'm here again: Eze Village… To see this beautiful village, go a long way south from Paris, I have been living since July 2023 French Riviera We fly to its shores and land on a beautiful hill overlooking the magnificent blue of the Mediterranean from a steep slope. Our destination is Eze Village, Nice Monaco between, French Riviera It will be one of the most enjoyable stops of your trip. Here we go:
Eze Village (ez vilaj) NiceAbout 10-12 kilometers by car fromIt is an old building that you can reach in about half an hour, at the top of a slope that descends steeply to the sea, even though it looks like it is on the seashore on the map. medieval village. Of course, you won't come just to see this place, but French Riviera during a time when you are traveling Nice - Cannes - Monaco It seems to me that Eze Village is one of the places that should be in your program. Of course, you will make the final decision yourself after reading the article and looking at the photos...
Actually, I have to confess something to you: Nice Although I have had countless holidays in and around it, I had never been to Eze Village until May 2018 🙂 Or rather, I tried to go a few times, but the place I went was always Eze by the sea, although it took me a long time to learn that the real Eze was above the sea 😀 I mean Although Eze covers a larger area administratively, the place I mentioned in this article is “The village we call "Eze Village" is above, and "Eze sur Mer" is on the seashore.; Don't confuse the two - like me 😉
Of course, the most comfortable way to go to Eze Village is by car. but if you wish Nice'skin 82 numbered to the public bus or 602 numbered To Zou bus It is possible to ride. On our first visit alertness We tried to go by train, but when we got off at Eze sur Mer, we had to wait for a long time for the bus to go up; It's a waste of time... That's why if you're going to use public transportation, take the bus. NiceIt's smartest to get on from . In the summer, buses become more frequent, and in the off-season, there are fewer buses. Please keep in mind that buses may be overcrowded in summer. Also To learn about bus types and ticket types Côte d'Azur Guide Don't forget to read the article 😉
In fact, the one that goes up the beach to reach Eze Village is called “Chemin de Nietzsche", with stairs which we can translate as "Nietzche Way" a crazy path There are also, but I did not dare to climb that slope :) So why is this road named Nietzche? Because Nietzche, who once lived in Eze used to use this path!… Approx. This path is 1.600 meters long and climbs 370 meters above the sea. I don't know if you dare to climb it or if you have tried it before, but as I learned, One and a half hours to ascend, approximately fifty minutes to descend It was ongoing. When I was in the military, I used to go up and down 400 meters every day, I repent, I won't take it anymore, non merci :)
No matter how you come to Eze Village, I believe it will be worth it. If you are going by car in season Due to the crowd, the parking lot at the entrance of the village is often full. is happening. The fewer tour buses around, the luckier you are, as this is a small place; It can get a little unpleasant when there are too many tourists. he is human in narrow medieval streets walking and labyrinthine stairs He wants to be alone as much as possible while going up and down, to breathe the air of this place alone...
Like everyone else, you start walking up the hill from the parking lot. A little further up, at the sharp bend, you will see the Nietzsche Road on the left. The driveway curves up from the right... At this point, there is a large door right in front of you; Here you go through that door The Golden Goat You reach the garden of the hotel. I think you should definitely enter and wander around the garden. Even If your budget allows, take a lunch break there, if your budget allows it even more, stay at that hotel.. You can also make your hotel reservation via this link. Don't forget to support me 😉 As a more modest (!) option, La Suite du Village d'Eze var ...
If you do not enter the hotel door and continue on the road on the right or up the stairs in between, you will reach the main village part of Eze. From now on, it's all about getting lost 😉 small place Eze Village, walk down the street that catches your eye, climb and descend the stairs you like, and pass through the passages you discover without hesitation. Wherever you go, you're bound to encounter something beautiful.
When you reach the westernmost point, there is a botanical garden You will see, you can visit there if you wish. If food is for eating like on the Amalfi coast You may try to find a shabby restaurant overlooking the sea from above, but all places overlooking the sea unnecessary chic Since it is in a hilly place, among very beautiful stone buildings, between the devil and the deep sea, You can eat it among the flowers. There is also a cafe restaurant with high walls that has a slight balcony feel, but since there is very little seating there, it is not possible to find a seat, especially during service hours…
One in Eze perfume There is a museum, or rather a store where perfume making is introduced, but it did not interest me. If you are interested in these issues, you can check in and share your experiences with us. If you are interested in these issues, the real center of perfume is again French Rivieralocated in GrasseYou should go to . If you can't go there, there is also a perfume museum in Paris 😉
I also love visiting the churches of small villages like this. They seem more sincere to me because they have a more human dimension; Notre Dame Cathedral They don't come at you like they do... That's why in Eze Village, there is an 12th century building with foundations dating back to the 18th century. Eglise d'Èze – Eze Church'If you want, you can go in and have a look. Although it is more enjoyable to visit such churches in less touristic villages, because most of the time you are alone inside, but this place is also very beautiful. pretty a place…
It depends on you how long you spend in Eze Village, but you can finish it in an hour, you can visit it for half a day, you can spend a full day and enjoy it that way. As I said, if your budget allows, it may be nice to stay in a hotel overlooking the sea and spend the night there. It's all a matter of tastes, priorities, time and budget... From here on Niceto or MonacoYou can go to , or it might be nice to go down and have a meal by the sea in Eze sur Mer; It is especially spectacular at sunset in summer. Here is the photo I shared from my personal Instagram account, from our trip in the summer of 2015. a photo, also short Instagram video Let it give you an idea.
If you go to Eze in summer, swimming in the sea may also be nice. This place reminds me of the Kalkan coast in terms of sea and pebbles. Although it cannot compete with the beaches in Turkey in terms of facility facilities, French Riviera I can say that this coastline is among the most beautiful places to swim. What I say is not just for Eze, Nice Monaco between, generally valid for the entire coastline; of course not the beach, Like me entering a clear sea from pebbles and even rocks If you are one of those who love.
The part of Eze by the sea, i.e. Eze sur Mer very small place; There isn't even a sign of any town or village, but a few restaurants along the shore are open in the summer. This place also has a tabloid significance: U2's lead singer Bono's house It's here 😉 Come on, don't try to find it, it's with you. Bono's house location on the map Let me share…
If you have a car, there are nearby Cap d'Ail, Beaulieu sur Mer, Villefranche sur Mer ve Saint Jean Cap Ferrat You can also see small coastal towns such as. Even in Saint Jean Cap Ferrat Villa Ephrussi named, visited as a museum Rothschild house there is something wonderful...
