Menton stretches between the Mediterranean and the first foothills of the Alps, in a bay close to the Italian border. Its centre combines shopping streets, colourful façades and shady squares; the old town climbs above the harbour, with narrow lanes and stairways. The seafront, gardens and beaches give this French Riviera town a seaside feel, and it is pleasant to explore on foot.

The Biovès Gardens offer a leafy walk in the town, while the Jean Cocteau Museum displays works by the artist in a setting connected to his time in Menton. The Basilica of Saint Michael and the old town's lanes bear witness to local history. Several beaches line the coast; Plage du Marché is 540 m away. Menton train station, 400 m from the accommodation, makes it easy to travel by train to neighbouring towns. Nice and Monaco can also be explored along the coast, while the Hanbury Gardens are on the Italian side.

The Mediterranean climate makes walks by the sea pleasant for much of the year. Summer is hot and lively; spring and autumn are well suited to sightseeing, with milder temperatures. You can start the day in the old town and its stairways, continue at a museum or in the gardens, then finish on the seafront. In February, the Fête du Citron enlivens Menton with monumental displays and parades; dates vary each year.
