Menton stretches between the Mediterranean and the first foothills of the Alps, on the Italian border. Its seafront, pastel-coloured façades and old lanes give the town a welcoming scale, and it is popular for coastal walks and gardens. The port district makes it easy to move between the beach and the streets of old Menton, where stairways and squares lead to the Basilica of Saint Michael the Archangel.

Plage Rondelli is 220 m away, and Plage des Sablettes is also in the area. The Jean Cocteau Museum – Le Bastion displays the artist’s works in a building by the water. Val Rahmeh Botanical Garden brings together exotic plants in a leafy estate. For an excursion, Hanbury Gardens, on the Italian side, combines botanical collections with sea views. Menton-Garavan station, 500 m away, serves the coastal line; Menton’s main station also provides connections to nearby towns. Nice and Monaco are accessible by train or road.

The mild climate makes the town enjoyable to explore all year round, but spring is particularly pleasant for visiting the gardens and wandering the lanes without the summer crowds. In summer, the beaches and seafront promenade take centre stage. In February, the Fête du Citron livens up Menton with its floats and citrus sculptures. A day can combine a swim, a museum visit and dinner in the old quarter, while a trip to the Italian Riviera offers an easy change of scenery.
