Nice Airport to Èze transfers

Nice Côte d’Azur Airport is about 25 minutes from Èze by the lower corniche, a little more by the Moyenne Corniche — which has the better view but more bends. Your driver tracks your flight and meets you in the arrivals hall with a name board.

The climb to the medieval village ends in narrow streets with very limited parking. That is precisely why most of our clients book a driver rather than hire a car.

The hilltop village, the Exotic Garden and the Nietzsche path

The old village of Èze can only be seen on foot: cobbled lanes, vaulted passages, and at the very top the Jardin Exotique, where on a clear day the view reaches Corsica. Allow two to three hours to enjoy it without rushing.

The Nietzsche path drops from the village down to Èze-sur-Mer in about an hour — a fine walk, but steep. Many of our clients are dropped at the top and collected at the bottom, which is exactly the kind of trip a driver on standby makes possible.

The Fragonard perfumery below the village is free to visit and a classic stop on the road between Nice and Monaco.

Cruise calls and corniche excursions

Èze appears on almost every shore excursion from Villefranche-sur-Mer, where the cruise ships anchor. We run half-day and full-day hires from the port, with the return timed to your boarding deadline — the thing that matters most when the ship will not wait.

The classic route combines all three corniches, Èze, Monaco and Monte-Carlo, and sometimes Menton and the Italian border on a full day.

Why choose FTC Rider in Èze
