Menton, between gardens and the Italian border
Nicknamed "the pearl of France", Menton enjoys an exceptional microclimate that makes it the city of gardens: the Serre de la Madone, the Val Rahmeh garden, Fontana Rosa, the Jardin Maria Serena. Our chauffeurs serve the baroque old town crowned by the Basilica of Saint-Michel-Archange, the seafront, the Halles market, as well as the residential heights and the neighbouring cape of Roquebrune-Cap-Martin.
The last town before Italy, Menton is a natural gateway to the Riviera dei Fiori: we frequently extend journeys to San Remo and Ventimiglia. To reach Menton from the airport, see our Nice Airport → Menton transfer. The Lemon Festival, held in February, draws a considerable crowd each year: booking a chauffeur well in advance is strongly recommended.
