View of the sea and village from the Jardin Exotique d'Èze near Nice, France, with cacti in the foreground.

Although you'll increasingly need to swerve around selfie-stick-wielding visitors as you meander through it, the Jardin Exotique d’Èze (jardinexotique-eze.fr; adult/child €5/free) is still one of the region's most delightful experiences. Around the ruined 12th-century château above the terracotta rooftops of the village, a peaceful cactus garden grows: it's more than worth the entry fee for the sweeping sea views that extend beyond Cannes alone.
