Riviera: the legend of the three cornices
Vacation time is fast approaching. The 8 p.m. news is also packing its bags, heading to the Côte d'Azur and its legendary roads: the Three Corniches. A postcard-perfect setting that connects Nice (Alpes-Maritimes) to Menton.
Between sky and sea, three roads connect Nice (Alpes-Maritimes) to Menton. They are inseparable from the Riviera. The Basse Corniche runs along the coast and its dream villas. Higher up, the Moyenne Corniche offers spectacular panoramas from the villages it passes through. And at an altitude of 500 m, it's the Grande Corniche, the most cinematic.
The Moyenne Corniche is the best access route to several jewels of the Côte d'Azur. Eze is not nicknamed the Eagle's Nest for nothing. Perched at an altitude of 429 m, the medieval village attracts many people with its cobbled streets and Provençal atmosphere. Perched at the top of the village is an exotic garden that attracts two million visitors a year and offers an exceptional view of the entire coast . "It feels like we're on our planet, it's magnificent," said one tourist.
