The Pearl of France...

Menton, known as the Pearl of France, is a dream destination located on the border between France and Italy. This charming town on the French Riviera captivates visitors with its mild climate, enchanting landscapes, and rich cultural heritage.

The Old Town of Menton, with its narrow and colorful streets, is a true gem. Strolling through its alleys, you’ll discover pastel-colored houses, picturesque stairways, and small squares radiating a unique Mediterranean charm. At the top of the old quarter, the Saint-Michel-Archange Basilica, a baroque masterpiece, offers breathtaking views of the bay.

Nature enthusiasts will love Menton’s many gardens, which serve as tranquil havens. The Serre de la Madone Garden, with its exotic plants, and the Val Rahmeh Botanical Garden, a biodiversity paradise, are magical spots for relaxation and wonder.

Lemon Festival:

Menton is also renowned for its Lemon Festival, a vibrant event celebrating its rich citrus heritage. Each February, the city lights up with floats and monumental sculptures made of lemons and oranges, creating a festive and unique atmosphere.

The Promenade du Soleil, which runs along the seafront, is perfect for a leisurely stroll by the water. Menton’s palm-lined beaches provide the ideal setting for relaxation or water sports.

For food lovers, Menton is a must-visit destination. Its cuisine, influenced by nearby Italy, features specialties like pichade (a local tart), barbajuans (stuffed fritters), and desserts made with lemons, including those crafted with Menton’s famous lemons, a source of local pride.

History enthusiasts will find plenty to explore in Menton, including the Jean Cocteau Museum, dedicated to the works of this iconic artist, and the Old Château Cemetery, offering spectacular panoramic views of the sea and town.

Menton’s proximity to Monaco, Italy, and the Mercantour mountains makes it an excellent base for exploring the region. It combines the elegance of the French Riviera with an authenticity that sets it apart from neighboring cities.
