Etymology

Eze is the name of a small hilltop village on the French Riviera and likely comes from old local languages once spoken in the area. A helpful way to remember Eze is to think of the English word ease, like 'easy' or 'peaceful', because the village feels calm and offers beautiful sea views from the heights.
