Èze and La Chèvre d’Or

Back in 1911, Friedrich Nietzsche took the steep path from Èze-sur-Mer to the hilltop village—now the marked “Nietzsche Path”—climbing to roughly 430 meters and rewarding hardy walkers with Riviera-wide views. At the crest, the Jardin d’Èze occupies the old keep and ramparts, its century-old agaves and cacti framing a panorama from Cap Ferrat to Cap d’Antibes. Stone lanes still echo with 17th‑century craft workshops, and the defensive layout makes sense when you realize Italy lies only about 8 km away as the crow flies.

Departing Beaulieu-sur-Mer, your dedicated driver collects you at your hotel in a Mercedes and drops you at Èze-Village’s upper gate to spare the steepest steps. You set the pace: visit the Exotic Garden (about 20 minutes from the fortified gate), then settle in for lunch or dinner at La Chèvre d’Or, hanging over the Mediterranean. The vehicle stays on standby—smooth pivots between stops, timing shaped to weather and traffic. You savor the visits while we handle the road; when you’re ready, signal for pickup and return via the Lower or Middle Corniche, whichever suits the hour.
