The charming Èze hilltop town is just a 30-minute drive from Monaco. Take a short morning ride (shops and cobblestone streets get pretty touristy in the afternoon but the mornings are still quiet) and walk all the way to the top of the hill to see the panoramic views of the Côte d'Azur.Le Louis XV
Le Louis XV, the crown jewel of the Alain Ducasse family, is a beautiful place to go if you are planning to splurge on dining in Monaco.
