Ok, another relatively short leg of "The Big Hike". This would take me from Eze to Nice, with a big detour out to Cape Ferrat.
The weather started out just fine, but clouded up towards the end. (sound familiar?)

The trail down from Eze village is also known as "Nietzche's Walk" as the philosopher used to walk this route frequently while in Eze. No Superman jokes please... |
| Walking down "past" Eze. | |
|
...and our friends at the perfume factory. |
| Nice trail, composed mainly of rock steps... | |
|
|
Around the corner looking out over Eze-Bord-de-Mer and on to Cap Ferrat |
|
|
The slopes above Eze-Bord-De-Mer looked like they had suffered a rather large brush fire this summer. |

|
|
Walking along the Lower Corniche... do they really expect this to hold? Thinking about the train tunnel that collapsed in may between Monaco and Menton... |
|
|
Beauleu-sur-Mer |
| Walking out on the cape... very nice,exclusive, big houses. | |
|
|
The French love their dogs... |
| St-Jean-Cap-Ferrat... more boats and big houses. | |
|
|
Out on the "tip" of Cap Ferrat. |
| On the west side of the cape looking out towards Villefranche | |
|
|
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... that is a Citroen. |
|
|
Villefranche-sur-mer |
| Ok, if a set of stairs get their own name, you know it has got to be a doozy. This was to climb up to the pass between Villefranche and Nice | |
| "Over the top", notice Ft. Alban in the second picture (left)... | |
