'Èze' is a
commune of the
Alpes-Maritimes ''
département'', in
France, not far from the town of
Nice.
The small
medieval village is famous for its beauty and charm. It has many shops, art galleries, hotels and restaurants that attract a large number of tourists and honeymooners. As a result Èze has become a "museum village", few local residents live here. From Èze you have gorgeous views of the
Mediterranean Sea. The Fragonard perfume factory has a sales outlet here.
The motto of the village is the phrase: "Isis Moriendo Renascor" (meaning "In death I am Reborn") and its emblem is a Phoenix perched on a bone.
Bono, lead singer of
U2, owns a villa in Èze along with U2's lead guitarist,
The Edge. The band filmed a
music video in Èze for "
Beautiful Day" and "
Electrical Storm" in 2002 and 2002, respectively.
Èze was also featured in the
Monaco episode of
Samantha Brown's
Passport to Europe in which she stayed overnight at an Inn during its off-season, when it was virtually empty.
