The minivan hums along the corniche and the Mediterranean pushes a bright, relentless blue against the windshield — a procession of cliffs, villas, and the occasional spray of sea daring you to look away. Within an hour the road climbs to Eze; its medieval alleys funnel walkers past stone storefronts and toward the Exotic Garden, where succulents cling to limestone ledges and the sea horizon stretches like a map.

Coastal erosion and visitor pressure are managed through designated paths and limited garden capacity; practice Leave No Trace and respect signage to protect fragile vegetation.

Cobblestones and steep alleys in Eze are uneven — closed-toe shoes with grip reduce slips and fatigue.
Bring sunscreen and a hat

Local artisans and the perfume museum may accept cash for small purchases or quick snacks.
