Why Menton?
The Pearl of the French Riviera
Menton: the pearl of France and one of the most beautiful corners of the country. Here, the sleepiness of the French Riviera remains, with its shuttered villas, terracotta roofs, dreamy beaches, palm trees, and lemon gardens. Because of its close proximity to Italy, Menton can sometimes feel more Italian than French, from the culture and buildings to the delicious food (hello pasta & gelato!). Enjoy two days here soaking up sun rays, atmosphere, and the beauty of this magical coastal town.
Just being in Menton is an experience. Breathe in the fresh sea air, enjoy the pastel colors of the houses, smell citrus from the lemon trees, and admire the grand Baroque buildings. The narrow winding streets of Menton ooze with charm and history, remaining authentic to the classic time of the French Riviera. Despite being so close to the glitz and glamour of Monaco and Nice, it’s very affordable and much less crowded.
