The Nietzsche Trail is an emblematic place that reveals the inspiring footsteps of writer and philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche.
This picturesque path, linking the seaside to the village of Èze, offers much more than a simple stroll. Naming the path in honor of Nietzsche is no coincidence. In 1883, the writer, plunged into a period of self-doubt, found the Côte d'Azur an unexpected source of inspiration. In particular, it was on these steep paths that he rediscovered the creative emotion needed to compose many of the lines of one of his major literary works, “Thus Spake Zarathustra”. Taking this path from the station, Nietzsche climbed up to the village of Èze, letting the coastal scenery inspire him. A veritable showcase of natural beauty, it offers a second, shadier section, making the walk more accessible during the sunny summer months.
