Day seven took us on a bus ride up into the hills to Èze, a tiny medieval village perched high above the coast. It’s one of those places that feels frozen in time — narrow stone pathways, old archways, little shops tucked into corners, and views that make you stop without meaning to.
We started with a tour at Fragonard, the perfume factory in Èze, where we learned how fragrances are made and smelled about a hundred things I now want to bring home. After that, we wandered our way up through the village, exploring the winding medieval streets and soaking in the views.
Then came the hike — the Nietzsche Path, which takes you from Èze‑Village all the way down to the train station by the sea. It’s steep, rocky, and definitely a workout, but the scenery is incredible the whole way down. By the time we reached the bottom, we felt like we’d earned every carb in France.
