|
Tip: Agree the price before you leave.
Have your destination written down if you struggle with French pronunciation. |
 | The train is a great way to get in and out of Eze sur Mer as the train line runs parallel to the coast and right through the seafront. There is no rail link with Nice airport however so it works best when you are already in the South of France.
Trains run until midnight and there are summer tickets available for better fares. Look online for Carte Isabel during the summer months or ask at the main stations for ticket offers. Buses remain the most economical way to travel. |

|
Getting around by busThe bus service has undergone some changes in recent years. The need to standardise fares was over due and this year fares have dropped again from €1.30 to the basic €1.00per journey. The bus routes are clearly marked and the bus station is easy to find your way around. The buses connect to the train stations and are usually scheduled to coincide with the train timetables.
You can buy books of tickets or day passes or week passes which offer great value for money if you are hopping on and off the buses all the time. Go to the main station at either the airport or in central Nice. For day passes you can buy these on the buses if your language skills can handle it. Not many of the drivers speak English, although there is usually always a helpful passenger around to help you.
For Eze sur Mer there are several buses that you can avail of including the night bus which runs on the weekends from Thursdays to Saturdays. The main bus route from Nice to Eze sur Mer is the L100 which runs every 20 miutes and takes about half an hour.

There are also buses that run between the corniche roads including stops at the village of Eze and Col d'Eze on the Grande Corniche. These routes are:
L112 from Nice to Eze village en route to Beausoleil which go every 20 minutes and takes about 20 minutes.
L82 from Nice to Eze village and on to Col d'Eze and Plateau de la Justice, takes about twenty minutes to the village and runs 7 times per day so you need to check timetables.
L83 from Eze village to Eze sur Mer also runs 7 times per day and takes half an hour.
Timetables are available online or in the bus stations. Check the village names that the routes pass through so you know in which direction you are heading and also where to get off. It may sound simple but it is a lot easier to know where to get off if you know the stop before and after.
Eze sur Mer is situated on the coast road that runs between Nice and Menton called the Basse Corniche or the RN98. It is a well signposted easy road to find if you are already on the coast, just follow the sea.
The best motorway exit to take is Junction 57 of the A8 which is signposted for La Turbie. From there you take a right turn before the village on to the Grande Corniche road or the Route de Nice and follow signs for Eze or the D45. You can also use the Monaco exit at Junction 56 which will lead you onto the Moyenne Corniche. |  |
Tip: Traffic can be heavy on the Basse Corniche
The Basse Corniche is very pretty and scenic as it winds it's way along every inch of the seafront so it is popular.
|
 | This is by far the most glamourous way to arrive although, unless you have a helipad at your holiday villa, then the closest heliport is in Monaco's Fontvieille district.
Heliair Monaco do scheduled flights from Nice to Monaco with prices starting at €99 per person for a single ticket which is not unreasonable given the views. You can also hire an exclusive trip for €605 each way for upto 5 people. |
The journey takes just 7 minutes although to get to Eze sur Mer you will have to go by train, taxi or bus
|
 | With regards to getting to Eze-sur-Mer by sea there are no other options than by doing so under your own steam. There is a small private marina for a just a handful of boats but there is no service operating in or out of this narrow strip of sea front.
It may seem like an inconvenience but it lends itself to the upkeep of the exclusive feel of this sea side town.
Drop anchor in your own vessel and enjoy the looming solitude of the mountains or swim in the clean and quiet waters here. |
Tip:Small boats can make it to the beach
There is a channel for small boats and tenders to deposit on the beach so you can gain access to the beach clubs and restaurants.
