Menton holidays

Aaand relax!

Fall into step with the genteel pace of life here. It’s all leisurely strolls among Jardin Botanique Exotique du Val Rahmeh and lazy al fresco dinners of Italian-inspired dishes in the medieval Old Town. If you’re up for a dollop of culture, pop into Musée Jean Cocteau Collection Séverin Wunderman.

A zest for life

Menton’s Mediterranean sunshine means it’s a big lemon producer, so expect citrus-inspired souvenirs and products on sale all over town. And when cocktail hour arrives, say hello to lemon liquor-based drinks. Now that’s what we call refreshing!

Hey, good looking!

Taking the best of French and Italian style and then multiplying them by ten, this sleepy seaside village is really something in the looks department – make sure your camera’s fully charged. It’s often overlooked in favour of the more well-known resorts of the Côte d’Azur, which is great if you like that hidden-gem appeal.
