Sommaire / Summary
To visit Menton is to find yourself between France, Italy and... the sky. Indeed, this French Riviera town lies close to the Italian border. It has been heavily influenced by transalpine culture. And what's more, Vieux Menton climbs towards the sky, which is often bright blue.
Visit Old Menton
The old town, called the Vieux Menton, rises on a belvedere, facing the sea and the Bay of Menton, the Sablettes beach and the port of Garavan.
Needless to say, this visit is one of Menton's must-sees. You'll appreciate the stone, ochre facades, stair-climbing alleyways, Saint Michel Archange basilica and numerous vantage points overlooking the town or the sea.
Visit the Castle Cemetery in Menton
This visit to the Cimetière du Château du Vieux Menton is also a must. In fact, this marine cemetery, located high above the sea, allows you to admire remarkable tombs and splendid panoramic views.
The Jean Cocteau Museum in Menton
The Musée Jean Cocteau à Menton is a must-see for the many talents of this versatile genius. Paintings, drawings, sculptures, the collection presents a part of the fonds and is renewed every year.
