Menton is one of the most picturesque of the coastal resort towns on the French Riviera, and is nicknamed La Perle de la France (The Pearl of France). Here you will find everything you desire for more reasonable prices than in Monaco. The small art galleries, pastry shops (try Stam Café by the county hall for excellent morning coffee), bakeries, restaurants, pubs and bars in the old town are worth a visit. There is a night bus going back to Roquebrune-Cap-Martin departing from the old maritime fortress just past Menton harbour every night, at somewhat varying times, so better check the times ahead unless you want to take a taxi.

Menton is best discovered on foot. Start at the Place du Marché, easily recognized by its old covered market, and pass the pedestrian area around Rue Saint Michel and Place aux Herbes. Rue Longue takes you up to the Church of Saint Michel and if you are fond of luxury stores, you don't want to miss shopping in Rue Felix Faure and Rue de Verdun. It is also worth noting that Menton offers the finest winter beach on the French Riviera.
