Menton Travel Forum

Hi There,

I am planning vacation in the village of Sainte Agnes in August 2008. I am wondering how difficult is to drive to Menton or other coastal locations from the village. Is there any bus service between Sainte Agnes and Menton or other coastal towns?

Best Regards

Rob

You want to download the number 9 or 10 bus between Menton and Sospel. Ste. Agnes is on the way. I think the price is only 1 euro now. That's a great deal.

Lovely area. Have a great trip.

Thank you very much.

Have you been to the Sainte Agnes area? Is it very remote or busy with tourist in the summer? Thank you for your help.

Best Regards,

Rob

Hi Rob. We haven't been to Ste. Agnes but have spent a bit of time in the Parc National du Mercantour not far away. It is gorgeous and if you get a chance try to visit. There are wonderful hiking trails and stunning views, not to mention interesting wildlife and fantastic flora.

Tourists in August in southern France . . . YES! They are all over the place. Many French head for the shore so they tend to concentrate on the coastline. We've not been there in August but have several times in July. We found the tourists are not so thick back from the coast so you may be okay in Ste. Agnes. Just a few miles inland it becomes much more peaceful. Menton will be very touristed and the beach is stone.

I notice Ste. Agnes is on a Michelin scenic route and that's almost a guarantee it will be beautiful. Hope you have a terrific trip.
