The Nietzsche Trail links the seaside to the medieval village of Eze by following the pathway by Friedrich Nietzsche. After a first cemented section, then a series of steps you will arrive at a paved section towards the village of Eze.
To begin the ascent to the medieval village of Eze is to walk in the footsteps of the famous German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, who stayed on the Côte d'Azur several times from 1883. Like many writers, he needed to walk to create. He composed the third part of "D'ainsi parlait Zarathoutra" on this steep path.
