Menton is a truly magnificent city which has a particular microclimate, even better than that of Nice. The city is sheltered by the mountains which literally fall at the feet of the city and protect it. Its old town is one of the most beautiful on the Mediterranean coast.

In winter, the lemon festival gives it even more color. And she already has a lot! Menton is located on the border with Italy.

People from Menton often go shopping in Ventimiglia, the nearest Italian town which is just over the border.

There is an institution in Menton: jams from Maison Herbin. I invite you to taste them, by taking a tour of their store.

“Menton. Italy is beginning, you can feel it in the air,” wrote Flaubert. The old town has an air of la dolce vita. It’s easy to get lost in the narrow streets, stairways, and shaded squares, lined with luminous ochre facades. Within the old fortified walls, the medieval crosspieces and the Baroque complex of the Parvis Saint-Michel reveal the weight of history. And everywhere, absolutely everywhere, the Mediterranean reminds us of its presence with its dazzling blue. A marvel for the eyes and the heart!
