Éze Travel Forum

Hi:

I'm a freelance journalist writing a quickie story on Eze for a travel mag, and can you believe it: Sixty-one pages of notes, and I'm still not sure whether transportation in Eze is all by foot!

Seems like there're three main roads that go *by* Eze, but then you have to get out and walk *in* Eze because of the narrow streets and stairs??? <Please confirm, deny--mock me, even!>

But then it seems there are bus stops *within* Eze??? <Yes, no, what are you talking about?>

Or can you drive *some* places *in* Eze? <Just blurt it out! Tell me to have another beer or something.>

Please e-mail me directly, at mercurial626 @ hotmail.com.

Thanks so much for any help.

I was Eze quickly in October. The village itself is on a sort of "mountain top", you have to walk up there and one of the hotels have donkeys to transport the luggage. The village is from Mideval (?) times and have small narrow streets and I found it very easy to get lost. There are many small shops and some restaurants and cafés. You can not drive in Eze itself, you park down by the road and then you use your legs. It's well worth a visit cus it's beautiful and you have a great view from up there!

It must be difficult writing a travel story on a location you have not been to and try to relate the feeling of the area on paper. As a reader, I enjoy articles written by journalists on the scene. As a wrilter, I enjoy giving my insights to what I have observed, felt, tasted, and went through on location. Yes, I can believe you still don't know about the transportation in Eze. But, I am here to help. Yes, there are many modes of transportation in Eze. Eze is both hilly and has the tourist destination of the Village on the Hill. Eze Village, a fortified rock village that is Eze to most people is most likely what you are looking for.You do park at the foot of stairs, just off the highway that runs by, with the perfume outlets across the street on flat land. The first thing you visit is the old cemetery just above the road. Then up and around by foot, to the shops, hotels, restaurants, and relics of the past. A view around every winding, climbing narrow rock walkway, with the little boutiques cut out of the rock. Yes, inside the grounds or up the hill is by foot only. A two star restaurant at the hotel Chateau De La Chevre D'Or has the best romantic views in my first hand opinion. Au revoir
