Menton Travel Forum

Has anyone done some walking in Menton that they would recommend? Perhaps you could suggest a good book with walks that you've tried. Thanks.

The key to Menton is to ignore the huddled mass of dreary apartment blocks that blight the sea front back towards Carnoles and Cap Martin and instead head on up to the upper reaches towards Italy - Menton Garavan. Its here you'll find all the most interesting botanical gardens and spectacular views.

If youve the taste for it, if you cross to Italy, not far from the border at La Mortola is the terrific Hanbury Gardens and the Balzi Rosso prehistoric caves, as well as picturesque village Dolceacqua.

The perched village of St Agnes is due north of Menton, which is walkable.

The walk back around Cap Martin towards Monaco has an interesting Sentier Littoral.

No book I'm afraid.
