I'll be back here next month so if we have a chance to stop in again, we'll remember to use the elevator this time around. Come here when the sun is setting, we went earlier in the day and it was pretty hot, even though it was foggy. Just be careful not to stay too late, they close the gates on you without checking.

You can climb several hundred stairs or take the lift. I went with the lift because it was scorching hot and I'd been walking forever. The panoramic views of Nice and the port are amazing.

Wow, what a view!…read more View, views, views! Skip the line by buying online. Get here early, before the crowds, and you'll get all the pictures you need. If you've traversed all the way out to Ezé, the Jardin is a no-brainer. I'd say you can probably see all you need in about 30-60 minutes, depending on how much "Selfying" you'll be doing. I think it's about $7-10 USD, and worth it for the pictures alone. Bring drinks as some businesses aren't open early. ALSO, USE THE RESTROOM BEFORE HEADING UP TO EZÉ. Bathrooms don't open until like 10am. Have fun!

It's a gorgeous estate built as a winter house for Béatrice de Rothschild (yes of the famously wealthy Rothschild family*) between 1907-1912, that is currently managed by the Academie des Beaux Arts, having been bequeathed this estate in 1933 by the owner prior to her passing. As a significant collector and appreciator of art, the property houses a varied array of art forms from different eras, that Béatrice acquired over her lifetime. The gardens are also cultivated with several distinct themes. Located on Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, the villa smack dab (~10 km away) from both Nice and Monaco. The closest train station is Beaulieu-sur-Mer from where you can take bus #15 directly to the outer driveway entrance, about 5-6 minute walk slightly uphill to the ticketing entrance and gift shop. Arriving by car there is free parking available in a lot. The views from the villa's elevated position on a hill overlooks the Bay of Villefranche and the Bay of Beaulieu. A tremendous number of mansions (owned by the ultra wealthy and celebrities) also dot the landscape. Walking up to the entrance, tickets can be purchased inside or prior online. Regular adult tickets are €18, €12 reduced, free for children 7 and under. A combined ticket along with Villa Kérylos is available for purchase on-site only for €24. It's possible to visit both in one day with time to spare, as they're only about 10 minutes driving from each other. Inside, on the left hand side of the lobby free audio guides are available, there is also a free activity book for younger children. The tour takes you around the first floor first, then around the second floor, providing information on Béatrice's life and times, explaining the history of the villa and the highlights of the collection in each room. The total tour takes about 45 minutes. The rooms are gorgeous period rooms with an eclectic variety of decorative furnishings, sculptures and paintings. The grand scale of the main lobby and bath room impressed me. After this I'd recommend taking a stroll in the gardens, where you can enjoy the musical fountains and varied landscapes of each themed garden - French, Spanish, Florentine, stone, Japanese, exotic, rose and Provençal. If you're into the outdoors, horticulture or simply looking for a beautiful place to relax, you could spend hours here. I only spent about 45 minutes in the gardens and felt there was so much more to see. There are miles of walking paths. Mostly not handicap accessible though parts are. There's a tea-room restaurant that's set up in what appears used to be the formal dining room. It's open for lunch and dinner with a break between.

When you walk in, there is a beautiful fountain and several trails to explore. Off many of these trails are different animal exhibits (monkeys, birds, goats, turtles, otters, a porcupine, and others). Coming around toward the back, you reach the greenhouse, which is rife with tons of different types of flora. There are also several other wildlife exhibits inside such as a gator (or croc?), monkeys, flamingos, and iguanas. Altogether, I probably spent three hours here, and I definitely could have spent more if I had not been on a schedule. If you like the outdoors, hiking, and flora/fauna, this place is definitely a must see! Happily, Clayton Cohn
