Menton stretches between the Mediterranean and the first foothills of the Alps, on the Italian border. Its centre combines old streets, colourful façades, gardens and a seafront promenade. The town appeals to those who want to alternate between swimming, cultural visits and urban walks without giving up coastal scenery. From Avenue de Verdun, the seafront and central neighbourhoods are within walking distance.

Borrigo Beach is 250 m away, and Menton railway station is the same distance away; trains connect you with other towns along the coast. The Biovès Gardens, known for their plantings and floral displays, are 90 m away. In the old town, the Basilica of Saint-Michel towers above the narrow streets leading down to the port. The Jean Cocteau Museum - Séverin Wunderman Collection displays works by the artist, while the Jean Cocteau Museum - Le Bastion occupies a former fort on the waterfront. The Hanbury Gardens, across the border, offer a botanical walk overlooking the sea.

The seafront is perfect for a simple day out: walk along the promenade, take a break on the beach and head to the old streets in the late afternoon. Spring and autumn often offer the chance to enjoy the gardens and walks in a quieter atmosphere than in the height of summer. In summer, set aside time for swimming and the beaches; you can easily explore the centre on foot between visits. You can also spend a day visiting the museums and historic buildings of old Menton, then end your walk near the port.
