So beautiful~ How to describe this stunning little town
Each town in the South of France has its own unique charm, but if you have to pick one must-visit, it has to be Eze
🏠 Accommodation: Nice
🚌 Transportation: Bus No. 602 / No. 82
(Tested and valid with the 3-day South of France pass)
1️⃣ Choose a sunny day! Go in the morning! As early as possible!
The sun is crucial for the color the sea shows
After 11 AM, tour groups arrive, and the sunlight is too strong, making photos less flattering
2️⃣ For the bus, be sure to board at the final stop (Vauban)
Whether taking bus 82 or 602, it’s the same stop
Buses run once an hour, with intervals between departures
Our bus was crowded and didn’t stop after the second stop
3️⃣ Buy tickets at the self-service machines along the way up the hill
They have a Chinese interface, and you can buy from any machine with availability
4️⃣ The botanical garden at the top has many branching paths; don’t go back down the same way
Choose different routes to explore more and possibly see different scenery; there is also a drinking water point on the back side of the hill
5️⃣ Restrooms cost 0.5 euros per use, available near the bus station and in the town
Note: They open at 10 AM and close for lunch from 12 PM to 1 PM
Isn’t that a bit much? [Facepalm]
