Good to know
When is the best time to visit Menton?
**Best time:** **February–March** for the Fête du Citron (and mild winter warmth); **May–June and September–October** for gardens and the old town without the summer beach crowd; late July–early August for the music festival. · https://www.fete-du-citron.com/
What is worth doing in Menton?
A warm-winter garden stay + Serre de la Madone. Menton's mild winter light and the terraced Serre de la Madone (Lawrence Johnston's masterpiece) make a quietly romantic low-season escape when the rest of the coast has shut — a garden, a pebble-mosaic parvis and a slow Italian lunch. Bookable: hotel/villa + guided garden. · https://www.france.fr/en/article/visit-menton-city-gardens-and-beaches/
