Aioli is a sauce made of garlic and olive oil. PERIOD!
Egg yolk is a commonly used emulsifier but mustard and garlic both have emulsion-producing properties. Classic aioli is made without egg, though many aioli recipes use it.
For traditional aioli the garlic is ground in a mortar while adding small amounts of olive oil, leading to a smooth and very strong tasting aioli. (d’alh = garlic and òli =olive oil) nothing should be added to it ! It takes a while, it is hard but it should be done this way.
Last but not least, tradition are also a way of life in Provence and you should follow those rules when you make it :
1) Obviously the Olive Oil should be “Première Pression à froid” and the Garlic should be fresh and Organic!
2) You should not be disturbed during this period by any noise nor other activities (cicadas singing are NOT considered as noise!)
3) The sky should be blue and no storm should be coming
4) The room should be tempered, in the shade, and never make aioli outside!
5) Old saying discourage a woman having its period to make aioli (don’t laugh, some people still do believe in this!)
6) Best to make it in Provence!

Aïoli ou sauce aillade (source « le cuisinier moderne », by G GARLIN, Edition 1889)
« Mettez une ou deux gousses d’ail dégermées dans un mortier, pilez jusqu’à ce que set ail soit en sorte anéanti, puis, vous cassez un œuf dont vous prenez le jaune que vous mettez dans le mortier et l’assaisonnez de sel, poivre blanc, un peu de Cayenne et un peu de muscade, pilez en tournant le pilon sur lui-même et ajoutez petit à petit la valeur d’un quart ou d’une demi-livre de bonne huile d’olive, en ajoutant de temps en temps un peu de jus de citron afin que votre sauce ne tourne pas et en même temps pour l’assaisonner. Cette sauce doit être tenue au frais comme la mayonnaise, la tartare ou la rémoulade. Servez-la aux articles indiqués dans une saucière frappée.
Dans le midi, cette sauce est simplement prise à l’huile d’olive, sans le secours de jaune d’œuf et nullement assaisonné. »

The original Aioli is very difficult to succeed this is why most of cook adds either a egg yoke or lemon juice to make the emulsion but the people from Provence will call this « Mayonnaise à l’Ail » and will not like it to be called Aioli!

Eze

The area surrounding Èze was first populated around 2000 BC as a commune situated near Mount Bastide. The area was subsequently occupied by not only the Romans but also the Moors who held the area for approximately 80 years until they were driven out by William of Provence in 973.

Èze has been described as an “eagle's nest” because of its location overlooking a high cliff located 427m above sea level on the French Mediterranean. The high elevation enables the village and the light ochre church within (Notre Dame de l’Assomption built in 1764) to be seen from afar. Inside the church, an Egyptian cross acts as a reminder that the roots of the village date back to the time of the Phoenicians, when they erected a temple there to honour the goddess Isis.

Traditionally, the territory of the Principality of Monaco was considered to begin in the Èze village (outskirts of Nice), running along the Mediterranean coast to Menton, on the present Italian border.

Èze is famous worldwide for the view of the sea from the top of its hill, and it is a renowned tourist site on the French Riviera. It is home to the Jardin botanique d’Eze, known for its collection of cactus and succulents as well as its panoramic views. Walt Disney spent a significant amount of time in Èze.

The oldest building in the village is the Chapelle de la Sainte Croix and dates back to 1306. The small medieval village is famous for its beauty and charm. It has many shops, art galleries, hotels and restaurants that attract a large number of tourists and honeymooners. As a result Èze has become a "museum village", few local residents live here. From Èze you have gorgeous views of the Mediterranean Sea. The Fragonard perfume factory has a sales outlet here.

The motto of the village is the phrase: "Isis Moriendo Renascor" (meaning "In death I am Reborn") and its emblem is a Phoenix perched on a bone.
