Gardens: Maria Serena - the Stone Bench


Our last day at the gardens of the Villa Maria Serena - with a stone bench supported by a couple of weather-worn lions.

The views of the Old Town from this gardens are some of the best in Menton, so we'll doubtless return but for the moment, thanks so much for coming on this little garden tour.

Notre dernier jour dans les jardins de la Villa Maria Seréna - avec un banc de pierre soutenu par un couple de lions usés par les intempéries.

La vue de la vieille ville à partir de ce jardin est l'une des meilleures de Menton et nous y reviendrons donc sans doute , mais pour le moment, merci d'avoir suivi cette petit tournée dans les jardins.

  3. A garden with a view is a double pleasure. A garden is its own view.

    This must be a Riviera trend to have gardens with a view. The garden next to the Oceanographic Institute in Monaco has a great view, as does the garden at the heights of Eze.

  11. This bench is so simple and unassuming, while at the same time having lovely carving. It is perfect for the location. Excellent!
