Photos of Èze

The small town of Eze, located between Nice and Monaco, is a medieval town on the cliffs of the Cote d'Azur. Because of its well-preserved medieval-style villages and its geographical location with a bird's-eye view of the Mediterranean Sea, it has attracted countless tourists. The town is built on a steep rock wall. All buildings are made of stone and loess. The roads are narrow and criss-cross like a labyrinth, like the way a vulture builds a nest. Therefore, it is also called "Vulture Nest Village". The Oscar-winning American film To Catcha Thief was filmed here.
