Menton, its citrus fruits, its sunny climate and its festivities... Just a stone's throw from Italy, the City of Lemon is decked out in yellow and orange every year during the month of February, with parades of floats and impressive sculptures, for a festival as traditional as it is popular, which attracts large numbers of tourists every winter. But that's not all: the city, which has been awarded the "Ville d'Art et d'Histoire" label, stands out for its rich cultural and historical heritage. Its parks and gardens give it a lush vegetation, facilitated by its exceptional microclimate. Home of the famous poet Jean Cocteau, Menton is a city of culture, where museums, exhibitions and shows of all kinds punctuate the calendar every year. The city also offers a tasty local gastronomy, where the delights of Italy and the scents of the French Riviera are mixed, with the famous fougasse mentonnaise, the small lemon palets (from Menton, of course) or the sweet orange flavored cakes. So many delights to taste or to take home, thanks to the many local shops and charming craftsmen who populate the small streets of the city. Discover Menton, the last French city before Italy, which will make you travel as much by the charm of its old city as by the beauty of its architecture. A city not to be missed on the French Riviera, where the sun always seems to shine, and whose beauty and authenticity can only be admired.
