| Eze Sur mer Alpes-Maritimes
|
| Eze is a medieval village perched
like an eagles nest on a narrow rocky peak overlooking the
Mediterranean sea. The ancient fortified village is still crowned with
the ruins of its 12th-century fortified castle (torn down in 1706),
sitting on a narrow rocky peak. The castle grounds host the well-known
Jardin Exotique, and from the top (429 m) you'll have an good view of
the coast (it will cost you, though). |
|
The village forms
a circular pattern around
the base of the castle. The old buildings and narrow streets are very
well restored, with high stone walls and narrow roadways of red-brick
centered stone. The narrow roads wend their way upward to the well
sign-posted Jardin Exotique
Panorama.
When you finally arrive
at the top, you'll find the way to the Jardin,
and the panoramic view, blocked by a 12 F admission cost, a detail that
wasn't mentioned earlier and lower. |
