Where to stay in Menton
Central Menton apartments are perfect if you are looking to spend a lot of time soaking up the sunshine along the main seafront strip. You will be in easy reach of the main market, where you can find some incredible local delicacies to cook up a storm back at your apartment. You can find some larger properties further out of the centre of Menton up in the hills, which boat swimming pools and bigger outside areas. These are ideal for holidaymakers wanting a more peaceful trip, away from the busy coastal strip and other tourists.

Menton with the family
Menton is all about spending time down on the beach and soaking up the French Riviera lifestyle, of café hoping, sunbathing, taking boat trips and shopping in traditional French markets. With the Alps close by, you can also go on skiing trips; you could literally be skiing in the morning and swimming in the afternoon. Considering the close proximity to Italy, you can even go on trips to neighbouring Italian towns and cities, while French destinations such as Cannes, Nice and Monaco are also within reach.
