Exotic Garden, Eze

Exotic garden created in the castle ruins of Eze offering stunning views

featured in Sights & Sites

Eze's exotic gardens were created after the Second World War, in the ruins of Eze castle. Located on steep terrain, it boasts wonderful panoramic views of the sea, the Esterel mountains and the Saint-Tropez gulf.

The ruins of the castle, destroyed during the Spanish Succession War in 1706, can still be seen. They were very popular during the Belle Epoque, where visitors would wander around the garden and enjoy the panoramic views

This sheltered spot is home to species of plants normally only found in more arid lands, it is well-known for its collection of succulents, including cactus, aloes and agaves. There are also Mediterranean species and works of art, which you can discover following one of their discovery paths.
