Èze - Village

 
Eze-Village, the old refuge settlement, has a picturesque situation 427m/1,400ft up on a conical rock crowned by the ruins of a castle from which there are marvelous views; it is still surrounded by its 17th C. walls. In its narrow streets can be found many handicraft enterprises and perfumeries. This is where Nietzsche drafted the third section of his "Thus Spake Zarathustra" composition.

Of interest are the Musée d'Histoire Locale et d'Art Religieux (local and religious art) and the Chapelle des Pénitents Blancs with modern frescoes by J. M. Poulin. The Jardin Exotique (exotic garden) offers flowering shrubs, cacti and a good view.
