These photos were taken in February two years ago - all that has changed is the weather! The last one showing the hotel and the setting is over-exposed but I wanted to show you how the building hangs over the beautiful bay of Eze with the peninsula of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat in the background and beyond is the bay of Villefranche. We are sitting where you see the white parasols.And if you are unfamiliar with the village of Eze, please click on the link HERE to see the whole village in a shot taken from high up on the Grande Corniche.
The Château Eza is actually a group of dwellings that opens onto this view - one of the most beautiful on the French Riviera. It was chosen by Prince William of Sweden, the eldest son of King Gustav, as his winter residence. Between 1923 and 1953 the royal family used to spend their holidays here. The Château Eza was famous until 1976 as the 'Prince of Sweden's Castle.'
Lovely pics, helps to avoid the winter blues.I will visit Eze village this year for sure, what a view!
