I‘m not sure what I was expecting but I did not imagine every street looking like this.
I spent three months using Rosestta Stone to learn French prior to this trip and the only phrase I could remember was ‘Alaide! Alaide! J’en sais pas nager!’ (I can swim just fine)

Èze Village

France
Day Trip: Sept 23

The winding cobblestone pathways were fun to explore but the garden at the top is the real gem of Èze. It’s worth the 10€ for the views alone, but I could have spent hours exploring the plants (which I did).

Chez Fraçois Restaurant | We ordered a seafood platter and assumed it was steamed. Everything was RAW —— prawns, oysters, clams, mussels and snails. I did learn to like oysters but we were genuinely concerned we were going to die.
I could live off charcuterie. Most restaurants are closed in the afternoons but you can usually order something like this. (We never did figure out what times we could eat in France.)
