Walks & views
Menton is a strong hiking base: coastal paths, olive groves, pine slopes and panoramic viewpoints begin close to the seafront.
Walks & views
Leave your apartment, follow the seafront east through Garavan and cross from France to Italy on foot for a quick espresso ritual.
Walks & views
A slow evening loop with old-town views, the Vieux Port, one well-chosen drink and a calm finish near Garavan.
Photo spots
Long before travel photography and Instagram, Menton was already a painter's town: sea, old harbour, Cap Martin, Garavan, palm-lined promenades, red roads, mountain light and the pastel old town rising above the bay.
Photo spots
Menton is not a music-video capital, but its colours, old streets, sea views and Mediterranean light make it a natural film set for songs and short visual stories.
Photo spots
Menton is compact enough to collect old-town colours, staircases, sea views, gardens and Garavan in half a day, mostly on foot from central apartments.
Itineraries
A full day in Menton works best when it stays simple: market, old streets, Sablettes, one flexible garden option and an evening by the sea.
Itineraries
Use Menton as a calm base: one day for the town, one for Monaco, then choose Nice or the Italian Riviera without packing and unpacking.
Walks & views
A slow walk through Menton's old town: Baroque churches, stepped streets, lemon shops, market snacks and viewpoints above the Mediterranean.
