Éze-capade!

I was off for a few days at work, and I took the opportunity to go to Éze – something that I have always wanted to do.

The mystery that surrounded this unknown prisoner has brought us to the island. Also, this island has a forest filled with guided paths and areas for picnic. It was a calming respite from the crowded scenes of the mainland.
