Easter Holidays - Èze

Èze is a medival French village located between Nice and Monaco. There are essentially 2 parts of it - Eze-sur-Mer down by the water front and Eze village situated high up on a cliff. Actually the area around Èze was first populated already 2000 years ago and has since seen many different people and cultures live there. It has been described as "The Eagle's Nest" because of its location high up on this cliff, 427m above the sea.
 The village is really tiny, but has a very famous top-luxury hotel (Chateau Eze) extending over almost half of the old part of the village. It supposedly has amazing rooms and views, but it was hard to confirm as it was securely "closed off". All traffic is absent and back in the days they used donkeys for carrying here.
There is a defibrillator station at the bottom of the climb you have to do by foot. I guess they've learnt from experience...
