It&#8217;s a fascinating destination to explore. The old town of Menton, with its narrow streets and colorful facades, offers an immersion in the authenticity of the region.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The city is famous for its lush gardens, notably the Val Rahmeh Botanical Garden, which amazed us. Menton is the ideal place to relax on its sunny beaches, stroll through its gardens and sample local specialties. The town harmoniously combines the Mediterranean art of living with a peaceful, sunny atmosphere. We were spellbound.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Provence-Lovers\/Best-of\/n-PbwqvZ\/Villes\/i-Kc9qqs5\/0\/aa64f054\/L\/Menton-L.jpg\" alt=\"Sablettes Beach\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Attractions in Menton<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Plage des Sablettes in the heart of the city, overlooking the colorful old town<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Many <a href=\"https:\/\/provencelovers.fr\/en\/best-gardens-menton\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"12934\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gardens<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The staircase to Saint-Michel Basilica<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Jean Cocteau Museum<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Views from the old castle cemetery<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>And the Lemon Festival, if you&#8217;re visiting (usually between mid-February and early March)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The villages of <a href=\"https:\/\/provencelovers.fr\/en\/things-to-do-village-sainte-agnes-cote-azur-visit\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"4370\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sainte-Agn\u00e8s<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/provencelovers.fr\/en\/things-to-do-village-roquebrune-cap-martin-visit\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"11065\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Roquebrune<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>See our article on the <a href=\"https:\/\/provencelovers.fr\/en\/best-things-to-do-menton-visit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">best attractions in Menton<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Provence-Lovers\/Menton\/n-xMNvcG\/Ville\/i-SNtWHWm\/0\/171ad8e8\/L\/Menton_escaliers-L.jpg\" alt=\"Menton's colorful staircases\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practical advice<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Allow a minimum of 3 days to explore the city&#8217;s highlights, but it&#8217;s also a great place to spend a week.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There are several large pay parking lots in the city, which are very convenient for parking and exploring.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Beware: the old town is very steep and not easy to explore.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Provence-Lovers\/Best-of\/n-PbwqvZ\/Paysages\/i-BNW8rZk\/0\/7066ecf3\/L\/menton-vue-garavan-L.jpg\" alt=\"View of the old town of Menton\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to stay<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li style=\"font-size:18px\">Charming London hotel &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/fr\/de-londres-menton.html?aid=2319618\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">see prices, photos and availability<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:18px\">Riva Art Hotel, facing the sea &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/fr\/riva.html?aid=2319618\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">see prices, photos and availability<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:18px\">Hotel Villa Genesis, Belle-\u00c9poque &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/fr\/villa-genesis.html?aid=2319618\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">prices, pictures and availability<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Find out more with our articles: <a href=\"https:\/\/provencelovers.fr\/en\/where-stay-menton-best-hotels-neighborhoods\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Best hotels<\/a> &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/provencelovers.fr\/en\/best-restaurants-menton-where-eat-reviews\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"10580\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Best restaurants<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Provence-Lovers\/Menton\/Hotels\/n-bXHV2C\/Hotel-de-Londres\/i-Z6FkzRs\/0\/d5827fbe\/L\/menton_Hotel_londres-L.jpg\" alt=\"Our room at the London hotel&#10;\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Our room at the London hotel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.

Our review<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nestled on the C\u00f4te d&#8217;Azur, Saint-Tropez is a legendary town that combines glamour and authenticity. We were pleasantly surprised, as the town has managed to preserve a real Mediterranean charm (despite the huge yachts in the harbor that block the view of the colorful facades).<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The old town remains on a human scale, where it&#8217;s a pleasure to stroll along the narrow streets. The Old Port, with its terrace caf\u00e9s and relaxed Mediterranean atmosphere, is an iconic location.<br\/>But what struck us most was the surrounding peninsula, which has remained largely undeveloped. It&#8217;s the ideal place to recharge your batteries, with vineyards, impressive views and sandy beaches with azure waters.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Provence-Lovers\/Best-of\/n-PbwqvZ\/Villes\/i-6KHJr8x\/0\/fbed16ed\/L\/Saint-Tropez-L.jpg\" alt=\"view of Saint-Tropez from the citadel\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Attractions in Saint-Tropez<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Stroll along the harbour and through the narrow streets of the old town<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Relax on a terrace to enjoy the atmosphere<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Explore the 16th-century citadel and visit the museums.

Even if you&#8217;re not a fan of luxury, Monaco is well worth a visit, as it&#8217;s a city like no other! While most of the city is made up of massive buildings, Le Rocher has been preserved and features pretty little streets, with magnificent panoramic views of the coast.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If, on the other hand, you&#8217;re a lover of luxury, the Principality is the place for you. Between 5-star palaces, high-end boutiques, casinos, clubs and haute cuisine, you&#8217;ll be in heaven!<br\/>Last but not least, Monaco has other lesser-known assets that we liked: museums, beautiful religious buildings and even green spaces!<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Provence-Lovers\/Best-of\/n-PbwqvZ\/Paysages\/i-3SjrdJf\/0\/cc1a0625\/L\/La-turbie-vue-monaco-L.jpg\" alt=\"view of Monaco\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Attractions in Monaco<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/provencelovers.fr\/en\/visit-prince-palace-monaco\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"10035\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Prince&#8217;s Palace<\/a> and watch the changing of the guard<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enrich yourself and marvel at the <a href=\"https:\/\/provencelovers.fr\/en\/best-museums-monaco\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"9667\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">museums<\/a>: the Oceanographic Museum, Prince Rainier III\u2019s car collection, and the art museums<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Admire the luxurious architecture<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Discover the many <a href=\"https:\/\/provencelovers.fr\/en\/best-gardens-monaco\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"9233\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">gardens<\/a>, each with its own unique style (exotic, Japanese, rose garden, etc.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enjoy the luxurious ambience<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>See our article on the <a href=\"https:\/\/provencelovers.fr\/en\/best-things-to-do-monaco-visit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">best attractions in Monaco<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Provence-Lovers\/Monaco\/Monuments\/n-s3Pf3g\/Palais-Princier\/i-HqH9JN5\/0\/ab9bcf04\/L\/Monaco-palaisprincier-fac%CC%A7ade-L.jpg\" alt=\"palace in Monaco\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practical advice<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Allow at least three days to see the city&#8217;s best-known sites<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Beware, the town is on a cliffside.
