3. Monaco, Nice and Villefranche-sur-Mer are close to Menton

Menton is in the Côte d'Azur. So you can visit other beautiful towns too when you're staying in Menton! My favourite places near Menton are Monaco, Nice and Villefranche-sur-Mer.

Monaco is one of the wealthiest places in the world. There are some wonderful viewpoints. Furthermore, in Monaco, you can spot many luxurious yachts.

Monaco is very impressive to see and you can eat delicious ice creams there. There are also many great photo spots in Monaco.

Nice is the city you'll probably arrive first before you get to Menton. This is a larger city and if you are in the mood for shopping, it's perfect! It's very fun to spend one day in Nice.

Villefranche-sur-Mer is a small town with some amazing viewpoints. The beautiful viewpoints are near the train station, which is perfect. Especially sunsets in Villefranche-sur-Mer are magnificent.

You can get to these places by train from Menton. Train tickets are very affordable there and the trains are very comfortable. You can buy your tickets for the trains in Italy at Trenitalia.

4. You can practice your French language skills in case you’re going to France in the summer

Since Menton is in France, the locals speak French! This means that if you're planning to visit France in the summer, it's the perfect moment to practice your French language skills.

I'd highly recommend visiting France in summer too because there are so many beautiful places in France. For example, Paris is amazing.

5. It’s way more affordable

One very important reason why you should travel to Menton in winter is that it is more affordable. In summer, traveling to the French Riviera can be very expensive.

In winter, the accommodations are cheaper. Besides that, getting to Menton is also more affordable in winter.

6. Menton is so beautiful

The last reason is that Menton is so beautiful!

The moment when I saw Menton for the first time was amazing. I traveled to Menton from Nice by train and I arrived during sunrise. It was so beautiful!

Especially in the morning, it is very quiet in Menton. The sunrise, water, and houses are very dreamy then.

If you read more articles on my blog, you probably know that I love traveling and that I love exploring new cities. But Menton is one of my favorite cities.

Walking through the streets of Menton and enjoying the beautiful view from the rocks is so relaxing.
