Eze is a commune in the Alpes-Maritimes department in southeastern France, not far from the city of Nice. Eze has been described as an "eagle's nest" because of its location overlooking a high cliff 427 metres (1,401 ft) above sea level on the French Mediterranean. It's so high that the light ochre church within (Notre Dame de l'Assomption built in 1764) can be seen from afar. An Egyptian cross inside the church suggests the village's ancient roots, when the Phoenicians erected a temple there to honour the goddess Isis. Eze, renowned tourist site on the French Riviera, is famous worldwide for the view of the sea from its hill top. Its Jardin botanique d'Eze is known for its collection of cactus and succulents, as well as its panoramic views. Walt Disney spent a significant amount of time in Eze.
