Villages & Villas: Èze and Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat

Visit both a medieval village and a lavish villa to get a glimpse of the decadent life of France's elite.
Discover Èze, a medieval village perched like an eagle’s nest over the Mediterranean Sea. Stroll through steep, narrow streets along carefully restored houses that have reopened their doors as artists’ studios and boutiques before heading to Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. Get a grand tour of the Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild, the *ultimate* French estate with sprawling gardens, ornate furniture, and art everywhere. Whether it’s pinkies up or down, get fancy up in the tearoom with afternoon refreshments.
