Can't spare a whole day for sightseeing? Then choose one of the city tours. Menton is a small town and there's not much to see.
A sightseeing tour of Menton with a guide takes about 4 hours. You will see all the city's sights, including the Basilica of St. Michel, the bastion, the Old Town, the Russian cemetery, and the Jean Cocteau Museum. Approximate cost of such excursion in Menton is 100 EUR.
A popular bus tour in Menton is a trip to the small picturesque village of Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, called the "eagle's nest". It is located in the coastal Alps and rises above the sea at 225 meters, thus resembling a bird's nest. Tourists are invited to visit a strange French castle (late 10th century), the Church of St. Margaret, and the Capitaine Vincent square, which offers a panoramic view of the Principality of Monaco.
Russian tourists often choose an evening excursion from Menton to Monte Carlo. The trip costs from 340 EUR per person. One of the most expensive trips is a tour of the Côte d'Azur called "Flavors and Tastes of Provence" (500 EUR per person). You will visit the world capital of perfume Grasse, mountain villages of Gourdon and Tourettes-sur-Loup, as well as Marc Chagall's favorite town Saint-Paul-de-Vence. For the same 500 EUR you can take the "Pearls of the Côte d'Azur" tour and visit Nice, Eze, Monte Carlo, Antibes and Cannes in 8 hours.
