Frankreich / Provence / Côte d’Azu - Èze Village
Èze (French pronunciation: [ɛːz]; Occitan: Esa; Italian: Eza) is a seaside commune in the Alpes-Maritimes department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in Southeastern France. It is located on the French Riviera, 8.5 km (5.2 mi) to the northeast of Nice and 4.5 km (2.7 mi) to the west of Monaco. In 2018, Èze had 2,225 inhabitants known as Ezasques (masculine and feminine).
History
The area surrounding Èze was first populated 200 BC as a commune situated near Mount Bastide. The earliest occurrence of the name "Èze" can be found in the maritime books of Antonin as a bay called the St. Laurent of Èze.
A hoard of ancient Greek silver phialae dating from the 3rd century BC was found in Èze in the late nineteenth century and is now part of the British Museum's collection. The area was subsequently occupied by not only the Romans but also the Moors, who held the area for approximately 80 years until they were driven out by William of Provence in 973.
By 1388, Èze fell under the jurisdiction of the House of Savoy, who built up the town as a fortified stronghold because of its proximity to Nice. The history of Èze became turbulent several times in the next few centuries as French and Turkish troops seized the village under orders from Hayreddin Barbarossa in 1543, and Louis XIV destroyed the walls surrounding the city in 1706 in the War of the Spanish Succession. Finally in April 1860, Èze was designated as part of France by unanimous decision by the people of Èze.
Èze has been described as an "eagle's nest" because of its location on a high cliff 427 metres (1,401 ft) above sea level on the French Mediterranean. It is so high that the light ochre church within (Notre Dame de l’Assomption built in 1764) can be seen from afar. An Egyptian cross inside the church suggests the village's ancient roots, when the Phoenicians erected a temple there to honour the goddess Isis.
Traditionally, the territory of the Principality of Monaco was considered to begin in the Èze village (outskirts of Nice), running along the Mediterranean coast to Menton, on the present Italian border.
Geography
The commune of Èze is located on the French Riviera, extending from the Mediterranean Sea (Èze-sur-Mer) to the hilltop with a medieval village (Èze-Village). Saint-Laurent-d'Èze connects these villages.
Tourism
Èze, renowned tourist site on the French Riviera, is famous worldwide for the view of the sea from its hill top. Its Jardin botanique d'Èze is known for its collection of cacti and succulents, as well as its panoramic views.
Walt Disney first visited Èze Village in 1956 and had dinner in the Château de la Chèvre d'Or that was acquired by hotelier Robert Wolf three years before. It was Walt Disney who suggested to Robert Wolf to transform the château into a hotel. And so, Robert Wolf acquired and converted nearby village houses into guest rooms. This innovative expansion helped establish the property as one of the original six stops on Relais & Châteaux's prestigious "Route du Bonheur" in 1954.
The oldest building in the village is the Chapelle de la Sainte Croix and dates back to 1306. Members of the lay order of the White Penitents of Èze, in charge of giving assistance to plague victims, would hold their meetings there. The shape of the bell-turret is an indication that the village once belonged to the Republic of Genoa.
The small medieval village is famous for its beauty and charm. Its many shops, art galleries, hotels and restaurants attract a large number of tourists and honeymooners. As a result, Èze has become dubbed by some a village-musée, a "museum village", as few residents of local origin live here. From Èze there are gorgeous views of the Mediterranean Sea.
Èze-Village can be reached by train from Nice via the train station Èze-sur-Mer or by bus from Nice. Close to the train station is a bus stop for buses bringing tourists to Èze-Village.
The motto of the village is the phrase Isis Moriendo Renascor (meaning "In death I am Reborn") and its emblem is a phoenix perched on a bone.
The local dialect (nearly extinct) is similar to the Monégasque language of the nearby Principality of Monaco; it is therefore related to Ligurian, but with some influences from the Occitan language.
Èze is one of sixteen villages grouped together by Métropole Nice Côte d'Azur tourist department as the Route des Villages Perchés (Route of Perched Villages). The others are: Aspremont, Carros, Castagniers, Coaraze, Colomars, Duranus, Falicon, La Gaude, Lantosque, Levens, La Roquette-sur-Var, Saint-Blaise, Saint-Jeannet, Tourrette-Levens and Utelle.

Èze liegt an der französischen Riviera zwischen Nizza und dem Fürstentum Monaco. Sie liegt an einem steilen Küstenabschnitt und erstreckt sich von Èze-sur-Mer auf Meereshöhe über den malerischen Gemeindeteil Èze Village (430 m) bis auf etwa 700 m Höhe.
Ortsteile
Èze Village
An der Mittleren Corniche (Küstenstraße) befindet sich Èze Village (430 m), mit seinen schmalen, autofreien, mittelalterlichen Gassen. Vom Sukkulentengarten aus bietet sich ein spektakulärer Blick auf die Steilküste und das Mittelmeer. Hier dichtete Friedrich Nietzsche nach eigenen Angaben im Winter 1883/84 einen Teil seines epochalen Werks Also sprach Zarathustra. Daran erinnert der Wanderweg Sentier-Friedrich Nietzsche, den der Philosoph bei seinem Aufenthalt öfter gegangen ist und den er aufgrund seiner landschaftlichen Schönheit in seinen Briefen wiederholt preist. Eine Gedenktafel am Ortseingang weist auf den Philosophen hin. Heute ist der mittelalterliche Ort, wie die gesamte Côte d’Azur, stark vom Tourismus geprägt. Durch zwei Luxushotels, viele Boutiquen und den Bustourismus ist ein Teil der Ursprünglichkeit des Ortes verloren gegangen. Die Parfümerien von Grasse (Fragonard, Galimard) unterhalten hier Zweigstellen.
Einmal im Jahr findet Èze d’Antan statt: das mittelalterliche Èze. Stände mit mittelalterlicher Handwerkskunst, Ausschank von Met, ein Großteil der ortsansässigen Händler in Kostümen der Zeit und allerlei Darbietungen versetzen den Besucher um Jahrhunderte zurück.
Am Col d’Èze fand eine Bergwertung der zweiten Etappe der Tour de France 2020 statt.
Èze-Bord-de-Mer (Èze-sur-Mer)
An der Küste liegt der kleine Badeort Èze-Bord-de-Mer (eigentlich Èze-sur-Mer), Teil der Gemeinde Èze, der durch die Bahnstrecke Marseille–Ventimiglia gut von Monaco und Nizza zu erreichen ist.
Vom Bahnhof Èze-sur-Mer ist Èze Village per Bus in wenigen Minuten erreichbar.
Durch seine Lage in einer von steilen Felsen geschützten Bucht herrscht hier sommers wie winters ein angenehmes Mikroklima. Durch die Hanglage weht im Sommer stets eine sanfte Brise und im Winter ist es fünf bis sechs Grad Celsius wärmer als in den Nachbarorten. Von hier führt der Sentier-Friedrich Nietzsche hinauf nach Èze Village.

" Celui qui regarde du dehors à travers une fenêtre ouverte, ne voit jamais autant de choses que celui qui regarde une fenêtre fermée. Il n'est pas d'objet plus profond, plus mystérieux, plus fécond, plus ténébreux, plus éblouissant qu'une fenêtre éclairée d'une chandelle. Ce qu'on peut voir au soleil est toujours moins intéressant que ce qui se passe derrière une vitre. Dans ce trou noir ou lumineux vit la vie, rêve la vie, souffre la vie..."
Les Fenêtres, tiré des "Petits poèmes en prose" de Baudelaire.
Fenêtre ouverte sur l'imagination, fenêtre ouverte à la fois aux regards et à l'intimité, fenêtre ouverte sur une des ruelles de Falicon, aux couleurs et lumières de la Méditerranée, que je n'ai pu m'empêcher de dérober discrètement en passant.
Avec ses ruelles étroites et tortueuses, Falicon s'élève sur son piton rocheux à une dizaine de kilomètres de Nice. D'origine médiévale, il a su conserver tout le charme des vieux villages perchés du temps jadis...
encore un joli village tout près de NICE avec des vestiges gallo romains ,des chapelles et des frises sur beaucoup de maisons anciennes ,promenade bien agréable avec en prime et toujours le soleil ...à suivre

Piramide di Caio Cestio.
The Pyramid of Cestius is an ancient pyramid in Rome, Italy, near the Porta San Paolo and the Protestant Cemetery. It stands at a fork between two ancient roads, the Via Ostiensis and another road that ran west to the Tiber along the approximate line of the modern Via della Marmorata. Due to its incorporation into the city's fortifications, it is today one of the best-preserved ancient buildings in Rome.
The pyramid was built about 18 BC–12 BC as a tomb for Gaius Cestius, a magistrate and member of one of the four great religious corporations in Rome, the Septemviri Epulonum. It is of brick-faced concrete covered with slabs of white marble standing on a travertine foundation, measuring 100 Roman feet (29.6 m) square at the base and standing 125 Roman feet (37 m) high.
In the interior is the burial chamber, a simple barrel-vaulted rectangular cavity measuring 5.95 metres long, 4.10 m wide and 4.80 m high. When it was (re)discovered in 1660, the chamber was found to be decorated with frescoes, which were recorded by Pietro Santi Bartoli, but only the scantest traces of these now remain. There was no trace left of any other contents in the tomb, which had been plundered in antiquity. The tomb had been sealed when it was built, with no exterior entrance; it is not possible for visitors to access the interior, except by special permission typically only granted to scholars.
The sharply pointed shape of the pyramid is strongly reminiscent of the pyramids of Nubia, in particular of the kingdom of Meroë, which had been attacked by Rome in 23 BC. The similarity suggests that Cestius had possibly served in that campaign and perhaps intended the pyramid to serve as a commemoration. His pyramid was not the only one in Rome; a larger one—the so-called "pyramid of Romulus"—of similar form but unknown origins stood between the Vatican and the Mausoleum of Hadrian but was demolished in the 16th century.
Some writers have questioned whether the Roman pyramids were modelled on the much less steeply pointed Egyptian pyramids exemplified by the famous pyramids of Giza. However, the relatively shallow Giza-type pyramids were not exclusively used by the Egyptians; steeper pyramids of the Nubian type were favoured by the Ptolemaic dynasty of Egypt that had been brought to an end in the Roman conquest of 30 BC. The pyramid was, in any case, built during a period when Rome was going through a fad for all things Egyptian. The Circus Maximus was adorned by Augustus with an Egyptian obelisk, and pyramids were built elsewhere in the Roman Empire around this time; the Falicon pyramid near Nice in France was suspected by some to have been constructed by Roman legionaries who followed an Egyptian cult, but more recent research has indicated that it was actually built between 1803 and 1812.
During the construction of the Aurelian Walls between 271 and 275, the pyramid was incorporated into the walls to form a triangular bastion. It was one of many structures in the city to be reused to form part of the new walls, probably to reduce the cost and enable the structure to be built more quickly. It still forms part of a well-preserved stretch of the walls, a short distance from the Porta San Paolo.
The origins of the pyramid were forgotten during the Middle Ages. The inhabitants of Rome came to believe that it was the tomb of Remus (Meta Remi) and that its counterpart near the Vatican was the tomb of Romulus, a belief recorded by Petrarch. Its true provenance was clarified by Pope Alexander VII's excavations in the 1660s, which cleared the vegetation that had overgrown the pyramid, uncovered the inscriptions on its faces, tunnelled into the tomb's burial chamber and found the bases of two bronze statues that had stood alongside the pyramid.
The pyramid was an essential sight for many who undertook the Grand Tour in the 18th and 19th centuries. It was much admired by architects, becoming the primary model for pyramids built in the West during this period. Percy Bysshe Shelley described it as "one keen pyramid with wedge sublime" in Adonaïs, his 1821 elegy for John Keats. In turn the English novelist and poet Thomas Hardy saw the pyramid during a visit to the nearby Protestant Cemetery in 1887 and was inspired to write a poem, Rome: At the Pyramid of Cestius near the Graves of Shelley and Keats, in which he wondered: "Who, then was Cestius, / and what is he to me?".
In 2001, the pyramid's entrance and interior underwent restoration. In 2011, further work was announced to clean and restore the pyramid's badly-damaged external walls, through which water seepage has endangered the frescoes within. The €1-million project will be sponsored by Japanese businessman Yuzu Yakhi and supervised by Italy's Ministry of Cultural Heritage.
