Menton Hotels

With Italy mere minutes away, the small city of 30,000 people is the de facto end of the line for the Côte d'Azur and indeed, France. Menton is a spectacular gateway then, to the province and city of Imperia and Liguria region of Italy as a whole. Of course, Menton is also 11 km away from Monte Carlo, Monaco and 30 km from the wonderful city of Nice. Visitors should stick around, however, and enjoy the breezy seaside charm of the venerable old town and a remarkable ensemble of handsome landmarks. The best of the best in Menton includes the grand Basilique St-Michel Archange, Chapelle des Pénitents Blancs, Villa Isola Bella, Fine Arts Museum and a superlative museum about the artist, writer and filmmaker Jean Cocteau.
