DRAMATIC SETTING

Award-winning garden designer Jinny Blom loves Le Jardin Exotique d’eze, which was created after the Second World War on the site of a medieval fortress, 1,407 feet above the Mediterranean. “It takes commitment to climb to the top of the plug of limestone on which it sits, but then one is rewarded with staggering sea views, a collection of mad cacti and a questionable sculpture. Fabulous.” Rue du Château, 06360 Eze, 0033 4 93 41 26 00, jardinexotique-eze.fr.
