May 12 - Eze

Eze is located on the Moyen Corniche, between Monaco and Nice.  Eze is perched on the edge of a cliff about 400 metres above the Mediterranean.  As remains true in real estate, location, location, location.  When all your neighbours have pointy sticks, and want your stuff, then the place to be is up a hill somewhere, so you can roll rocks and other stuff down on them.  So given that this was/is prime real estate, there were lots of previous owners of the property, Phoenicians, Romans, and now, Tour Bus Operators.

There are no cars inside the walled city of Eze, as the "roadways" are all built to accommodate only things as wide as a donkey-cart.
Lots of little shops to peer into
Lots of stairs to climb up.
A few sculptures to mimic.
See... if those people down there had pointy sticks, we could roll some rocks down on them.
Best real estate in Eze, a real fixer upper.  You-know-what trickles down-hill, and its all down-hill from here.
The clock tower.
The twisty brown thing is the road

This is the vehicle designed for the twisty brown thing.
