On the Franco-Italian border, by the warm Mediterranean sea, Menton is a delight for any visitor. It is easy to see how the city earned its nickname 'the Pearl of France', combining gardens, seaport, beach resort and a hiker’s paradise into one.

Many of the trails start directly from the town and gain altitude in a short distance, offering some of the finest views of the French Riviera.
