The medieval village of Eze is one of the Côte d'Azur's must-see destinations. Perched 429 meters above sea level on a rocky outcrop, this village offers exceptional views of the Mediterranean. Our interactive map guides you through the cobbled streets and remarkable sites of this fortified town. You will discover the main monuments, the famous exotic garden, and the spectacular views that have made Eze internationally renowned.

Here is our interactive map of Eze to help you find your way around the village.
How long does it take to visit Eze?
A complete tour of Eze village takes between 2 and 4 hours, depending on your interests. Half a day is enough to see the main attractions of the village: the medieval streets, the Church of Notre-Dame de l'Assomption, and a few craft shops.
Allow at least 1.5 hours if you include a visit to the exotic garden. This is a must-see to enjoy the panorama from the castle ruins. Photography enthusiasts will particularly appreciate the views of the Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat peninsula.
For a more in-depth exploration, plan to spend a whole day. You can explore the art galleries, have lunch on a terrace, and walk down to Eze-sur-Mer via the Nietzsche Trail. This 2-kilometer hike offers magnificent views of the coast and takes about 45 minutes to descend.
We recommend arriving before 10 a.m. to enjoy the narrow streets and avoid the crowds of tourists during the day.
