What to do on the Côte d’Azur?

It is impossible to list here all the activities and outings to do in the south and in particular on the Côte d’Azur, as the list is so long. In less than an hour from your 3*** hotel, you will easily have enough to keep you busy for months… Your stroll around Nice will be plural and full of surprises.
Take time to breathe, it’s the holidays!

Paradise beaches

A crystal clear turquoise sea, a fauna and flora protected by nature reserves, fine sand, you are not dreaming, you are on the most beautiful beaches of France. Don’t forget your masks, snorkels and flippers to visit the fish during unforgettable snorkeling sessions.
Our local staff, who love the area, will be happy to share with you some of the secrets of how to access the most beautiful beaches and coves around Menton.

  • Balzi Rossi cove: 5-10 minutes walk from the Italian border and about 40 minutes walk from the town centre, this cove has a private beach with snack bar.
  • The Sablettes beach: a delicate golden light highlights the colourful houses that surround this beach with its calm and warm water, typical of the beaches of Menton.
  • The Saloma beach: go to the Cap Ferrat peninsula to admire a magnificent view of the Bay of Beaulieu, the Cap d’Ail and the Italian coast.

A hinterland not to be overlooked under any circumstances

coastal towns with their fiery nights. The richness of the local folklore, its gastronomy, its landscapes also comes from its lands and its mountains.

The town of Menton is the ideal starting point for discovering breathtaking “nature” spots. Don’t miss the opportunity to visit the vallée des Merveilles, whose name speaks for itself, and the Fontanalba Valley. Lovers of olive trees will be delighted by a walk through the Pian Park, which has 530 trees of wisdom, including several thousand-year-old olive trees, and a breathtaking panoramic view of the city.

On the same theme, not far from there, facing the sea, is the Bastion Museum, designed by Jean Cocteau.

The meeting place for gastronomes

On the gastronomic side, the richness and fame of France is also on display. Our staff will be able to advise you on the city’s not-to-be-missed restaurants, and if you book early enough, you may be lucky enough to dine at one of the most prestigious restaurants in the world: the Mirazur. Its Italian chef, Mauro Colagreco, whose creative, colourful cuisine is always respectful of his products, has just been awarded a third Michelin star.
