In summer, visiting the botanical garden offers stunning views—provided the sun is shining. On the day we visited, it was a bit misty; although it wasn’t raining heavily, backlighting made photography tricky. Since many plants were covered with plastic in winter, the photos didn’t come out as vividly as expected. It’s recommended to bring a student ID, as there's a discounted admission rate. Wearing white— or yellow—would look great in photos. On sunny days, these colors pair beautifully with the blue sea backdrop.

#TravelTips 📍Eze Village (France) A small village perched on a cliff is called an "eagle's nest village." Many eagle's nest villages can be found in the Côte d'Azur (around Nice) in southern France. They are accessible from Nice, a popular vacation destination from around the world, especially during the spring and summer months. Eze Village is one of the most famous of these. However, eagle's nest villages are often located high in the mountains, making them difficult to access for tourists without a car. Many people are reluctant to rent a car in an unfamiliar foreign country. Hiring a local guide to take you around by car is an option, but while it's easy and safe, it's extremely expensive. You'd probably like to keep transportation costs down and spend your money on hotels and food. In the case of Eze Village...it's accessible by yourself. Basic information is here. ◾️Access (From Nice) By bus only Take bus number 82 from the Vauban bus stop and get off at Eze Village. Transferring to the train Get off at Gare de Eze sur mer Take bus number 83 from the Gare Eze bus stop directly in front of the station and get off at Eze Village. During the high season (April to July), there are many tourists, so you shouldn't get lost. ◾️Time Eze is a small village. Excluding time spent at restaurants and cafes, you can explore it in about an hour. However, in the summer, there are many cute shops, such as souvenir and general stores, so it's recommended to spend at least three hours. Even if you eat at the restaurants, it's still a half-day trip, making it a perfect day trip from Nice. ◾️Sights ・Tropical Botanical Garden This is a must-see spot in Eze Village. If you go to the top, you'll be rewarded with a spectacular view of the Mediterranean Sea. Admission is 6 euros. Chateau Eze Hotel & Restaurant This five-star hotel is located in the village of Eze. Even if you're not staying at the hotel, you can still use the restaurant. The view from the terrace is breathtaking. It's a little pricey, but it's well worth experiencing this unique view. Eze Village is easily accessible even by yourself. #EuropeTravel #France #FranceTrip #SouthernFrance #StunningView #FrenchTourism #EzeVillage #Eagle'sNestVillage #LuxuryHotel #SoloTravel #SoloGirlsTrip

Southern France has many beautiful cities. Love all the views. Lots of activities available, from shopping , nature hiking or sea sports . Great for self drive to appreciate the road journey scenery. Just that parking is challenging in summer peak season. Difficult to find parking & the lots are all kind of small.

#holidayitinerary Perched 429 meters above the sparkling Mediterranean, Èze is a breathtaking medieval hilltop village between Nice and Monaco. Nicknamed the “Eagle’s Nest”, its winding cobbled paths, stone houses, and panoramic views make it one of the most picturesque spots on the Côte d’Azur.

#JulyGoodPlaces2025 My first visit to Eze, I was captivated by this hillside town. Ascending the winding stone steps, I was met with medieval stone walls and ivy-covered window frames on one side, and the endless blue of the Mediterranean Sea in the distance on the other. 📍From the Jardin Exotique d’Eze Tropical Botanical Garden, I overlooked the entire juncture of mountain and sea. The sea and sky merged into a stunning scene, inviting me to sit quietly all day. The town's glass workshops, perfume shops, and garden arches—every corner resembled a movie set. The pace here is slow, perfect for a true South of France afternoon, sandals in hand, camera in hand, and a moment's thought, just letting the wind gently caress my hair and basking in the Mediterranean sun. #EzeTown #SouthFranceTravel #FrenchCôte d'Azur #JardinExotique #MedievalMountainCity #MediterraneanStyle #FrenchSecrets #EzeVillage #SlowTravel #EuropeanTownWalk #July2025Destinations #RecommendedFranceAttractions #TravelFrance #SouthFranceMountainBreakfast

#AbsolutelyFreeTrip Eze Village is one of the highlights of tourism in the Cote d'Azur. Located halfway between Nice and Monaco, Eze Village stands on a cliff 420m above sea level. Eze Village is called "Eagle's Nest Village" because the way it was built on the top of the cliff resembles an eagle's nest, which builds a nest in a high place to protect itself from predators. The beautiful townscape that retains the appearance of the Middle Ages makes you feel as if you have traveled back in time. No matter where you take a photo, it is beautiful and moving. There is a factory of the famous French long-established perfume brand "Fragonard", which makes soaps and cosmetics using ingredients from Eze. The head office is in Grasse, but Eze has a boutique and perfume factory, and you can visit the perfume factory for free. It takes about 30 minutes to get to Eze from the center of Nice by a direct bus. If you miss the return bus, it may take an hour or two, so it's best to allow yourself plenty of time. I made a mistake and ended up waiting for a long time, so be careful. Fragonard 7 Avenue du Jardin Exotique, 06360 Eze #Travel in France
