Mentone is considered the pearl of the French Riviera, nestled between the sea and the mountains, between Monaco and Italy. Thanks to its location, it enjoys a subtropical microclimate and therefore boasts a rich heritage of gardens, some of which are classified as ‘Historic Monuments’ or ‘Gardens of Great Value’. Menton is the first “City of Art and History” on the French Riviera and has an extensive programme of internationally renowned events throughout the year, such as the Lemon Festival.
