Located on the French Riveria, Eze can certainly be considered a year-round destination. Summer is generally the most popular time to visit, since most people come to enjoy the sunny beaches. August is actually the peak tourist season, when temperatures average about 80 degrees Fahrenheit with a delightful sea breeze.

Winter, of course, gets the fewest crowds, though the weather is still dry and moderate, rarely dipping below 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Many of the hotels and restaurants do close during this time, however, and stay closed until late February or March. But there are plenty of ski resorts available in the surrounding mountain villages
