15 days in Menton Itinerary

Known for its own microclimate that is generally milder than the rest of the French Riviera, Menton is located very close to the border with Italy, whose influence is visible in the architecture and customs of the city.

Get outdoors at Promenade du Soleil and La Recreation Champetre. Your itinerary includes some good beach time at Palmes Beach and Plage de Passable. Explore Menton's surroundings by going to St-Jean-Cap-Ferrat (Villa & Jardins Ephrussi de Rothschild, Chapelle Saint Hospice, &more), Eglise (in Villefranche-sur-Mer) and La cité médiévale (in Eze). There's lots more to do: take in the architecture and atmosphere at La Madone d'Utelle, steep yourself in history at Vieux La Turbie, trek along Mala Beach Coastal Path, and make a trip to Cimetiere du Trabuquet.
