STAY
While the beauty of Èze will speak, or show, for itself, knowing the secrets will only be an added treasure. Bask in the natural palette that will bloom for you in the abundance of gardens at La Chèvre d’Or, where you must stay. You will find that during its coldest time of year, it averages 11°C, roughly 52 °F making it the perfect escape from this lingering winter winds.
MEANDER
The “Trophy of the Alps” is just that, a trophy celebrating the emperor Augustus’s decisive victory over the tribes who populated the Alps. Also, the oldest building in the village is the Chapelle de la Sainte Croix which dates back to 1306. This small village has been dubbed village-musée, a “museum village”, and therefore is also well known for its numerous shops and art galleries. Meander the old town.
As the flower waft through the breeze take your time gazing at the Mediterranean Sea enveloped in seas of jasmine, bougainvillea, and roses. After spending the day immersed in the beauty of the Château or sipping coffee at Le Café du Jardin, enjoy a delicious meal at …. Not one, but three and all overlook the shimmering blue waters.
Also, out of those three options, two are Michelin starred gourmet. The menu is inspired by the products of the Riviera and the up-country. Enjoy an expansive selection of flavors will dining in some of the finest restaurants in the French Riveria. After visiting the numerous gardens in the area, journey to Larvotto, a beautiful beach that only complements the aesthetic of Èze with its crystal blue waters. It is the time to break out that plunging back one-piece swimsuit and let the crisp Riveria air cure the latent winter blues. After receiving much-needed doses of vitamin D, explore the history of the destination named after the Egyptian goddess Isis herself. Side by side you can find the Tropaeum Alpium and the church of St Michel.
DINE
Dine at the Côte d’Azur’s Michelin stars two must-eat restaurants; Château Eza and of course, gourmet restaurant La Chèvre d’Or .
After exploring the culture and beauty the area has to offer, Nice is only a train ride away if you would like to extend your exploration of France’s hidden gems. The motto of Èze is “Isis Moriendi Renascor”, meaning, “In death I am Reborn”. Allow yourself to be rejuvenated by the beauty of the gardens, the unique shops, and some of the best food in the French Riviera.
