Menton Uncovered: A Guided Walk Through the Riviera’s Jewel
Menton, often called the “pearl of the French Riviera,” welcomes visitors with its gentle climate, pastel colored buildings, and a rich heritage shaped by its famous lemons. Your private walking adventure begins near the lighthouse, where the sea breeze and coastal views set the tone for a leisurely exploration. From here, you enter the historic old town, a charming district dating back to the 12th century. Its narrow, winding streets, vaulted passageways, and sun washed facades create an atmosphere that blends medieval character with Mediterranean warmth.
Your guide leads you toward the lively municipal market, a beloved gathering place filled with the scents and colors of Provence. Here, local merchants offer a warm welcome and an authentic glimpse into daily life in Menton. Just steps away, you continue into the pedestrian heart of the town for a special tasting at La Maison du Citron, where you sample regional specialties such as limoncello, lemon mustard, tapenade with citrus notes, and artisanal jams that highlight the city’s iconic fruit.
After the tasting, enjoy free time to browse local boutiques, discover handmade crafts, or simply relax at an outdoor café. As the tour continues, you stroll along the Promenade du Soleil, a beautiful seaside walkway overlooking crystal clear waters and offering easy access to the beach. This final stretch captures the essence of Menton sunlit, serene, and deeply connected to the sea. With its blend of history, flavor, and coastal charm, this walking tour offers a delightful introduction to one of the Riviera’s most enchanting towns.
