Hidden Villages of the French Riviera
High above the Riviera, there are towns that the French like to keep secret. These hidden villages on the hills are the real jewels of the region.
To experience the authentic charm of the Riviera, skip the coast and head to the hills. One such gem is the tiny village of Eze, perched precariously above the coast, offering breathtaking views of the sunset.
Eze is located just 20 minutes from Nice, along the historic Grande Corniche, a road created by Napoleon and famously driven through by Grace Kelly in the movie To Catch a Thief. The village has a rich history, with 2000 years of occupation by various civilizations, including the Greeks, Phoenicians, Moors, and Romans.
The trick to enjoying Eze is to sleep here when day trippers leave and the village does a dramatic decrescendo.
To truly appreciate Eze, consider staying overnight, allowing you to experience the village's tranquil atmosphere after the day trippers have left.
