Menton boasts the best climate in France. It is in France but sits between Monaco and Italy. Much smaller than Cannes or Nice the town is pretty upmarket but low key. Very good beaches, public and private, sand or pebble. Little traffic uses the promenade which is all cafes and restaurants directly above the beach. Monaco, 5 mins by train, famous for sport ( tennis, grand prix, soccer etc), culture/opera, the prince and family, millionaires harbour etc etc. Equally close is Italy and Ventimiglis/Bordighera beach resorts, Thus the Monaco marathon passes through 3 countries! The Alpes sweep down to the sea at Menton and shelter several exquisite 'perched' villages good for walks and seaview restaurants. Buses. More serious walking is possible from those villages.
