We did a day tour from Monaco to the medieval hilltop village of Eze. While walking the very steep and rocky paths of Eze, you can easily see that it was once surrounded a 12th century fortified castle. The castle was torn down in 1706, but the village remains, and forms a circular pattern around the base of the castle. Many of the residents are now artisans, and you can spend a lot of time wandering in and out of the cave-like shops. There are also some perfumeries, and a wonderful aromatic selection of spices for sale.  The day we were there, there was also a number of market stalls selling fresh produce such as sausage and cheeses galore.
