& History

 |
 |
 |
| From Antiquity to the Renaissance |
|
Yet, in the antiquity, the rich pratician
families have baths
and the roman coasters found there a salutary shelter as said the mention of Eze under the name Avisionis portus in the Antonin's itinerary. Then, in the Renaissance period, people from Genova came to provide with salt in the the salt marsh. |
 |
| Eze, seaside resort |
|
Lost in the haze of History, Eze
sea side reappear
like a seaside resort at the end of the last century. Eze attract and become the favourite site for Nice people. |
 |
|
Eze sur Mer become international
site by welcoming
a russian colony escaping from the 1917 revolution. The Stroganov Prince built in Cap Estel a wonderful and romantical house. |
 |
| Nietzsche
stayed in one of the oldest houses of Eze and found inspiration for his third part of "Thus spake Zarathoustra" while climbing to the village by the path. The president Raymond Poincaré during an official visit stopped in Eze. He stayed then in the villa Les Pins. Sakarof, the painter, Princess Antoinette Grimaldi, the sister of Prince Rainier III of Monaco, and Bono of U2 have also put mark on Eze. |
 |
| Nowadays |
|
Today, with the villas whose facades
embellished with painted friezes,
Eze sea side has kept the charm of the Belle Epoque. The villa "Les Platanes" with a small entrance decorated with roses in bas relief and an alley of mandarine trees reminds the time when people from Nice used to come by train or by caleche to go to the shaded pinewoods beach. |
