The town of Menton in southeast France is located along the famed French Riviera and offers nightlife, beaches, gardens, history and museums to explore. Along the waterfront, you can relax on endless stretches of white-sand beaches with deep, warm, crystal-clear waters. Just steps from the beaches, visitors will find boutique and souvenir shops, bars, clubs and dining opportunities to suit any budget or taste. The Serre de la Madone gardens showcase rare and exotic plants bursting with colour. The Old Town area to the east features Basilique Saint-Michel-Archange and La Chapelle des Pénitents-Blancs.
The Musée Jean Cocteau offers the Séverin Wunderman collection, which is filled with works by the iconic artist and poet Jean Cocteau. The region also offers many opportunities to enjoy tended green space such as the Val Rahmeh-Menton Botanical Garden, the Jardin d’agrumes du Palais Carnolès and the Serre de la Madone. Jardins Biovès offers an urban green space with a sculpture garden filled with ornate statues, while the Promenade du Soleil provides for a serene stroll through the heart of town.
