Marché des Halles – To begin your journey, step into Menton’s iconic covered market, Marché des Halles. This historic marketplace bursts with color, aromas, and local flavor. As you explore, your guide will point out seasonal produce and artisanal specialties. In addition, you’ll learn about Menton’s rich Italian-French culinary roots.

Promenade du Soleil – Next, enjoy a relaxed stroll along the palm-lined Promenade du Soleil. On one side, the turquoise Mediterranean; on the other, pastel buildings glowing in the sun. Not only is this a scenic walk, but also a deep dive into Riviera leisure and Belle Époque elegance. Along the way, your guide will share how this promenade became a beloved symbol of the Côte d’Azur lifestyle.

Basilica of Saint Michael the Archangel – Then, ascend the picturesque old town steps to reach the majestic basilica. With its Baroque style, ornate bell tower, and sweeping sea views, it’s a visual masterpiece. Moreover, it stands as a powerful symbol of Menton’s religious and cultural heritage.

Cemetery of the Old Castle – From there, continue upward to the tranquil Cemetery of the Old Castle. Perched high above the rooftops, this serene site offers one of the best panoramic views in town. Besides its beauty, the cemetery holds stories of renowned artists, writers, and expatriates who found inspiration—and peace—here.

Jardins Biovès – Afterwards, unwind in the lush Jardins Biovès. These fragrant gardens shine year-round, but especially during the famous Lemon Festival.

La Chapelle des Pénitents-Blancs – Finally, just a few steps from the basilica, visit this delicate 17th-century chapel. Its Rococo façade and quiet interior make it a peaceful retreat.
