Beautiful colours in a special microclimate
Beautifully situated all the way down to the Mediterranean Sea, just 2 km from the Italian border, Menton offers a string of interesting experiences.
Compared to the rest of the Côte d’Azur, Menton has a special microclimate that provides more hours of sunshine than anywhere else in France.
The historic old town
Experience the beautiful pastel-coloured facades and the pleasant tranquility up close in the charming little streets of the old part of the city.
Located on the hillside, this part of the city features a neat network of small streets, stone staircases and passageways on the way to the top. At the top, you will find the cemetery, and here, you will be rewarded with some absolutely fantastic views.
