Menton

The pearl of France — Italian flair on the Riviera

Menton sits at the Italian border, enjoying the warmest microclimate on the French Riviera. Famous for its Lemon Festival, pastel-coloured Italianate old town, and exotic gardens, it's a quieter, more authentic alternative to its glitzier neighbours. Excellent value compared to Nice or Monaco.
