Here's a completely different interlude. Eze is a tiny perched village on three levels just off the highway heading towards Menton. I’ve included it because of its unique cactus garden located at the highest point, nearly 500 metres above the Mediterranean. It is a village with a dreadful history of centuries of pirates, pillage and destruction, but was for some time it was home to Nietzsche, after whom they have named their “philosopher’s walk” at the upper level. As he cogitated, he worked on “Thus Spake Zarathustra” there. More info here: www.provenceweb.fr/e/alpmarit/eze/eze.htm .
