Menton is a delightful town, situated only 1.6 km from Italy, 8km from Monaco and 28km from Nice. It has old-world charm, beautiful architecture and good clean beaches. The old town is particularly quaint, with narrow cobbled paths leading between the buildings as they rise up to the cemetery at the top of the hill.
Menton has the best climate of the whole of the Cote d'Azur with 300 sunny days a year it is a great place to relax and unwind. There is so much to see in the area, from the numerous beaches, coves and towns along the Cote d'Azur, to the mountain ranges of the Mercantour National Park with its 3000m peaks. The terrain is excellent for cyclists and runners. Many Tour de France riders train in the area.
Access is excellent as Nice airport has a bus that comes into Menton, or take the train from Nice centre. Car hire is not necessary unless you wish to explore further afield. The hilltop villages are a real treat for photographers, and artists.
