Èze

It's a magical little medieval village perched high atop a hill. We LOVED it. Èze was, without question, one of the highlights of our trip and was a nice change of pace from Monaco. Once you reach the base of the village by bus, you will be walking the rest of the way, winding your way through the medieval castles and getting lost in the cobblestone streets. (The top of the cliff is 1400 feet above sea level, and our iPhones tracked something like the equivalent of 63 flights of stairs that day.) There you will find adorable shops, galleries, restaurants, and a few hotels. At the very top is a botanical garden with a large collection of cacti and succulents and panoramic views of the Mediterranean. There is a small fee for the garden (7 euro I believe), but it's worth it just for the views. We also enjoyed probably our favorite meal of the trip in Èze. (More on that next.)

Èze

This is an old 15th century castle that was converted into a town. Stunning views of the Côte d’Azur. Sneak into the Chateau de la Chevre D’Or- it’s unbelievable.

Really great Vielle Ville. Go up to the top of the exotic garden for a great view of the surrounding area. A bit tricky to get to, I'd recommend taking local train from Nice, then take the bus right behind the train station to get up to the Vielle Ville
