A Hike Up To Eze

After our rainy excursion to Cannes, we were treated to an amazingly perfect day. Karim and I decided to take the train to Eze-sur-Mer and hike up the Nietzsche trail to the old village of Eze perched in the mountains. The views seen from the trail were unreal.

Just starting off on our hike at the base of the Nietzsche trail

A lovely vista seen from the trail

And a look up at how much ground we still needed to cover!

Looking up at the old village - almost there!

A sculpture garden built into the side of the mountain
And it got even better when we made it up to Eze an hour later. Each turn through the winding cobblestone streets offered another visual treat - pale building facades coming together with the brilliant blue sky, secret passageways and bursts of brightly colored vines.









A favorite pastime - posing alongside a sculpture

  3. Thanks Selim and Erin! We are indeed having a great time.

    Erin - I would have dressed like a normal person for our hike but I had sun poisoning on the backs of my legs and the dress provided the best coverage! Come visit!!!!
