The Joys of Menton


Yesterday was a joyously glorious day. It was windy and the colours were fabulous and look how the breaking waves echo the low clouds.

Is it any surprise that I LOVE Menton so much!

  5. What a gorgeous photo! I can see why you love it so much. Such natural beauty mixes so well with the beauty of the city clinging to the hillside.

  6. 45 odd years of having a house in Airole visiting various places in the locality of France and Italy. Tourists galore head for St Tropez, Cannes, Nice Etc. Please don't let them know about Menton. She is the jewel in the crown.

  10. No,taken in Menton itself. I was roughly in front of the Westminster Hotel - actually a little nearer to the market. So actually a long way from RCM. You'd get a much wider sweep of bay had I been in Roquebrune Cap Martin.
