The Blue Coast hiking trail, Nietzsche's Path Chemin de Nietzsche
A classic hiking route on the Blue Coast~ Beginner's version
Nietzsche's Path Chemin de Nietzsche is a rocky trail, with a total length of 2120 meters, starting from Èze sur Mer by the sea, climbing for about 1 hour and 30 minutes to reach the medieval village of Èze Village. The altitude difference is 400 meters. It takes about 45 minutes to descend.
Èze is only 12 kilometers away from Nice, and it takes only 13 minutes to get to Èze sur Mer by train from Nice Ville.
The famous philosopher Nietzsche once lived in the Blue Coast area, and the third part of his work 'Thus Spoke Zarathustra' was completed on the mountain paths of Èze.
Nietzsche said: 'In Nice, the clear sky illuminated my life for the first time, and I wrote the third part of 'Thus Spoke Zarathustra'. Many secluded spots and hills in the Nice area have left me with unforgettable memories.'
After exiting the Èze sur Mer train station, cross the street and walk to the right for about 4 minutes (270 meters) to find an uphill path with a sign indicating the start of Nietzsche's Path.
