Eze, Cote d'Azur

 Eze is a picturesque medieval town perched high above the sea.

Visitors flock here for its breathtaking views, which can be reached by ascending the steep, narrow streets of the old town and passing through a spiky cacti garden.

The vista from the top is worth enduring aching legs, and a sweaty brow.

This is especially true when enjoyed at sunset, as the sky blends into a mélange of soft colours, and the sea transitions from sparkling turquoise to a deep indigo.
