    The exotic garden of Eze is one of those extraordinary gardens that are worth the detour alone. It's an exotic, Mediterranean and Zen garden. How so?

    The exotic garden of Eze

    The exotic garden is located in the commune of Eze village, i.e. high up on the cliffside. Beware, the exotic garden is on a steep incline, with the different levels connected by staircases. This is important for those with walking difficulties. But it's no problem for everyone else.

    Some specimens are remarkable. Remarkable for the rarity of their variety or also remarkable for their size. Each plant has a label with QR code to find out more.
    It can be visited all year round. It's obviously more in bloom in spring and summer, but also much busier.

    The garden is adorned with statues by artist Jean-Philippe Richard.

    The 3 themes of the exotic garden

    The garden consists of 3 parts:

    • On the southern slope:
      This slope stays sunny all day: succulents, cacti and other varieties of rather desert climate. This is where you reach the ruins of the castle, Eze's highest point.
    • On the eastern slope:
      Mediterranean flora, so partly local and some plants from wetter environments than those on the southern slope.
    • On the West side:
      On the West side: a Zen garden has been laid out, not that it has become a Japanese garden, but everything is designed for a beneficial stopover, facing the Mediterranean. Deckchairs, misters, waterfall, etc.

    Practical information

    Access

    The exotic garden is accessed via the old village. So you have to climb up to the village and there are several signs directing you to the garden. It's very easy to find.

    Visit time

    Depending on individual interest, if you visit all 3 spaces at your own pace, taking time to appreciate the panoramas, you'll need well over 2 hours at least. For a more partial view, allow at least 1h.
