"Menton is renowned for its stunning Mediterranean landscapes and charming old town. A highlight of the area is the Jardin Serre de la Madone, a beautifully landscaped garden offering a peaceful retreat with exotic plants and panoramic views. The Basilica of Saint-Michel-Archange is another must-see, showcasing impressive Baroque architecture and providing a glimpse into the city's rich history. Menton's Citrus Festival (Fête du Citron) is a vibrant annual event celebrating the region’s famous citrus fruits with elaborate sculptures and parades. For a leisurely day, stroll along the Promenade du Soleil or explore the local markets to experience the town's delightful atmosphere and cuisine."

"Menton is a lot quieter than other towns along the Cote D'Azur. Many flock to Nice, Cannes or Monaco but be sure not to make the same mistake... visit Menton! Full of old historic buildings, bright colours, warm weather and the Mediterranean Sea this town feels like a true French Village.
*TIP: It is a very hilly village so be sure to wear comfortable shoes!*"
