Eze Perched Village

A medieval village built into the rock above the Côte d'Azur, between Nice and Monaco. The houses go up the cliff in stages, the lanes are narrow enough that two people pass sideways, and the old castle at the top is now a cactus garden. The summit looks out across the Mediterranean toward Cap Ferrat, and on a clear day the long blue runs unbroken. Nietzsche walked the path up from the coast and finished part of a book at the top. People still walk it.
