At around 9 am, we walked up to the village…

An open air restaurant is greeting the visitors. If not because we had just taken a light breakfast, we certainly would like to sit here to enjoy some luxuries time.

This small medieval village is famous for its beauty and charm. A place like this will naturally have many shops, art galleries, hotel and restaurants. Consequently, Eze has become a museum village, attracting a large number of tourists and honeymooners.

Even without a guide, one will be able to walk around this place without the worries of getting lost. All paths going uphill will eventually lead one to the top where the panoramic garden is located.

The old buildings and narrow streets are very well restored, with high stone walls and narrow roadways of red-brick centered stone.

This place is awesome! Everything is awesome!

Everywhere, everything can be a good object for photographing, simply picturesque.

Only the person with a good sense of arts can create this, right?

Walking up is such a nice experience…The longer I stay here, the more I love this place.

In front of an art gallery…


Every art gallery has their own style and uniqueness…

Many of the residents are now artisans, and shoppers can spend a lot of time wandering in and out of the cave-like shops.

 Chateau Eze, another high class hotel in the old village…

This place is truly an art museum, even the growth of the cactus is so artistic.

The narrow roads wend their way upward to the well sign-posted Jardin Exotique, the panoramic garden.

Le Jardin d’Eze is known for its collection of cacti and succulents, as well as its panoramic views from its top (429 m). Of course, admission is not free of charge. But the small fee is worthwhile, cause we certainly don’t want to miss the panoramic view from the garden at the top.

The garden is filled with different varieties of cacti and other exotic plants. The village of Eze lies 1400 ft above the Mediterranean Sea.

We wandered around the garden in different pace. As usual, the boys are always at the front, husband in the middle, and I am always at the back.

The statue is equally interesting as well…

As we climbed higher, the view is even better.

This cactus, how to describe it? Exotic.

My 1st time to see this rose-like leaves.

Mediterranean Sea, often is associated with “romantic”. 

The ruins of a 12th-century fortified castle (torn down in 1706).

Saw those porcelain dolls in Paris 3 months ago. Love it but didn’t buy any of them cause it’s hard to carry them around. So, when I saw them again, it’s like I was given a 2nd chance again.

Seeing them had made me feel happy already. All these are hand made, by a French lady. Basically, none of them are identical. So each and every one is unique. 

 End up, we brought home a window-mirror frame which is about the same like this one hang on the wall (on right)

This one is very beautiful too, but cost higher since its size is almost 2x bigger than the one we have bought.
