In the heart of Menton's old town, the Basilica of Saint Michael the Archangel stands out with its baroque silhouette above the colorful alleyways. Its forecourt offers an open view of the Mediterranean, while its richly decorated interior testifies to the Italian influence that marks the entire region.

Fantastic staircase leading to the basilica. The view of the water from there is magnificent.
