17th Century beachfront apartment in vibrant cosmopolitan town

WELCOME TO OUR HOME. Our fully renovated beachfront apartment, built in the 17th century, is located in the center of the Vieille Ville, the vibrant, historical, Medieval district of Menton. Our street, once a Roman road called the Via Aurelia, has developed over the millennia into the Rue Longue. Paved in stones, with walls painted in Mimosa yellows, Siennas, Ochers and Tuscan reds it is yours for the duration. We are one flight up. A large living room with a 16 foot high frescoed ceiling is the apartment’s richest feature. Three large 5 foot tall windows allow magnificent , unencumbered views of the Mediterranean sea and mountains all the way to Bordighera and San Remo in Italy. We can be on the beach in two minutes. From these same windows you can see your safely parked car. In March the air is so clear that the island of Corsica can often be seen on the horizon.

Menton is the archetypal Mediterranean town. Perched on the French-Italian border, it provides the traveler with the delights of both France and Italy. This small town of 30,000 is nestled between Monaco (10 minutes away by train) and the Italian Riviera (a 20 minute walk) with the Nice airport 30 train-minutes away. Open to the sea and protected by an amphitheater of mountains which block off Mistral and Tramontane winds, it enjoys a subtropical 'micro-climate' allowing for seven exceptional botanical gardens to flourish. The Tourist Information Office in the Palais D'Europe, Ave. Boyer, will provide you with information and schedules.

EXCURSIONS OFF THE BEATEN PATH

As I help my guests plan their vacation many will declare 'I JUST WANT TO SIT IN A CAFE AND WATCH THE WORLD GO BY'. Great idea. By cultivating a healthy disrespect for time you'll fit right in. After you have booked, you will be sent an information package containing a long list of unusual sites too specialized for generic guidebooks. Places known mostly to locals, including personal favorites tailored to interest those with vigorous sport hobbies or quiet habits. HERE IS A PARTIAL SAMPLER: Walking an 18th cent. seaside path under millionaire mansions. A wonderful toy shop. An Arabian Pure- Bred competition. Ferraris. A collection of Baroque Churches. Menton’s best restaurants. Chamber music. The Casino. A Barbie Doll museum. A whale’s mouth. Napoleon's return bivouac. Rigorous mountain climbing and kayaking. A Regatta from Sardinia. Petroglyphs. A glass bottom boat. The WWII Maginot Line bunker which housed 300 soldiers during WWII ( fully restored). La route Baroque.

An international crowd of visitors, cosmopolitan shops in the modern town, mazes of narrow streets in the 14th century sector, fountains, cafes and tea-rooms, ardent blue seas and spacious seafront promenades transform a simple stroll into a delight for the senses. It’s fun to get lost and discover, to follow your instincts. Starting out for 'The Barbie' museum in Monaco may get you sidetracked to a Greek Mansion. Eat Socca, the local chick pea crepe cooked in front of you at the MARCHE. Try a cooling Perrier-Menthe on a hot day, or a Campari and Soda. Make your own memories. The smallest experience will be the best if it is truly YOURS.

Other Activities Local and tour buses Available. Rafting, Wildlife Viewing, Cinemas/Movie Theaters, Kayaking, Health/Beauty Spa, Live Theatre, Restaurants, Museums
