Menton stretches between the Mediterranean and the first foothills of the Alps, on the Italian border. Its centre combines shopping streets, colourful façades and historic architecture, while the seafront has promenades and urban beaches. The town appeals to travellers looking to combine swimming, heritage and trips along the Riviera in a less crowded setting than the larger nearby resorts.

From rue Villarey, Plage du Marché and the Biovès Gardens are within walking distance. Explore the old town by walking uphill towards the Basilica of Saint Michael the Archangel, whose forecourt opens out onto rooftops and the sea. The Jean Cocteau Museum presents the artist’s work across several spaces, including Le Bastion by the water. Menton railway station, 700 m away, provides train connections to the towns along the coast; Nice-Côte d’Azur Airport is 24 km away. Further east, the Hanbury Botanical Gardens offer a walk among Mediterranean plants.

Menton’s mild climate makes it pleasant to visit outside the height of summer, when the seafront promenades are less crowded. In summer, plan to visit the beaches early in the day, then spend the hottest hours in museums or shaded lanes. You can combine a visit to the covered market with the old town and a swim; garden enthusiasts can set aside another outing for the Hanbury Botanical Gardens or Villa E-1027, a remarkable modernist work in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin.
