When to go to Menton?
Lemon groves climb the hills behind the town, and the baroque old quarter stacks pastel façades above a bay that already feels Italian. Serre de la Madone gathers plants from several continents across its terraces, while the Palais Carnolès keeps its paintings in a former princely summer residence ringed by citrus trees. The scent of zest carries surprisingly far.
