Places to see in ( Menton - France ) Basilica St Michel
With its incredible exterior, the bell-tower, the coloured cobbles of the parvis arranged to form the Grimaldi’s coat of arms and the “rampes Saint-Michel” (a series of flights of stairs) the “Basilique Saint-Michel” is a rare jewel of baroque art. More than 100000 tourists come to see the site every year.
The construction of the Basilica begun in 1640 under the reign of Honoré II, but took several centuries to be completed. The façade was then renovated in the 19th Century adding typical decor of the period such as smooth columns with ionic and corinthian capitals.
Saint-Michel Archange was proclaimed a Basilica in March 1999, by decree of Pope Jean-Paul II. This title, given for eternity, was in reward for the dynamism of the pastoral life and liturgy of the church.
The Menton Music Festival is held on the parvis of the Basilica every year in august. A little further on, “La Chapelle des Pénitents-Blancs” (White Penitents Chapel) offers a more ornate façade : pinnacles, friezes, garlands of flowers.

Menton, France
Menton (French pronunciation: [mɑ̃tɔ̃]; Occitan: [meˈta], written Menton in classical norm or Mentan in Mistralian norm; Italian: Mentone) is a commune in the Alpes-Maritimes department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in southeastern France.ituated on the French Riviera, along the Franco-Italian border, it is nicknamed la perle de la France (The Pearl of France). Menton is located on the Mediterranean Sea at the Franco-Italian border, just across from the Liguran town of Ventimiglia. It boasts a warm micro-climate favourable to lemon, tangerine, and orange groves whence one of the town's symbols, the lemon.
Menton is famous for its gardens, including the Jardin Serre de la Madone, the Jardin botanique exotique de Menton (Le Val Rahmeh), the Fontana Rosa, and the Maria Serena garden. Le Val Rahmeh was established in 1905 by Englishman Sir Percy Radcliffe, the first owner of the gardens, and named for his wife. Villa Fontana Rosa was built in 1922 by Blasco Ibáñez, a Spanish novelist, and the gardens of the villa are now open to the public.
➣The baroque basilica of Saint-Michel-Archange, with its bell-tower, was built in 1619 by the Genoese architect Lorenzo Lavagna.
➣The Musée Jean Cocteau is located in the Bastion of the port of Menton. The bastion, built overwater in 1636 as an advance defense for the port by the Princes of Monaco, is now located at the shoreline.
➣The wedding room at the Mairie (town hall) was painted in the 1950s by Jean Cocteau, transforming it into a giant work of art.
➣Menton is home to at least half a dozen beaches
➣The historic covered market was built in 1898 by local architect Adrien Rey. The market is open everyday from 5am until 1pm in the summer and in winter opening at 5.30am. Over 30 kiosks both inside and around the market sell local and imported vegetables. The belle epoque structure was one of many famous buildings constructed by the architect in the region.
➣Next to the beach and the covered market, since November 2011 the new Musée Jean Cocteau hosts the Séverin Wunderman Collection.

I stayed up front and kept this brief, as a Mass was being served. There had just been a baptism here, too, and the proud family gathered in front, on the ancient square, above the shining Mediterranean sea. This was only the beginning of a fascinating trip centered around Menton, Monaco, Nice and Antibes, France, with many forays up into the mountains.

[EN] Menton is the most easterly town of the Côte d'Azur, situated on the Mediterranean. It is located practically on the French-Italian border. Italian influences in the city are clearly visible, beginning from the architecture, which is similar to the Italian towns of Cinque Terre, and ending with the waiters who prefer to talk to each other in Italian.

[PL] Menton jest najdalej wysuniętym na wschód miastem Lazurowego Wybrzeża, leżącym nad Morzem Śródziemnym. Praktycznie znajduje się on na granicy francusko-włoskiej. Wpływy włoskie w mieście są doskonale widoczne, poczynając od samej architektury, która jest podobna do włoskich miasteczek z Cinque Terre, a kończąc na kelnerach, którzy wolą rozmawiać między sobą po włosku niż francusku.
