The map of Menton clearly shows two main neighborhoods. The first, modern and fashionable, stretches along the seashore (Garavan, La Madone, Le Hameau du Cap-Martin). Here you can also include the city center, as well as the historic district called the Old Town. This is where you will find most of the luxury apartments and villas on the map of Menton with hotels.
The second location is the area in the valley between the mountain ranges. Here there is no tourist infrastructure - the area is populated by locals engaged in gardening, so it is practically not depicted on maps of Menton, where the main emphasis is on beach tourist areas.
In Menton there are several areas where it is better for vacationers to live. These are the seaside (Monleon promenade), the center, where most of the stores and parks are concentrated, and the quiet secluded Old Town with narrow streets, baroque architecture and refined French atmosphere. The areas in the center of Menton offer easy access to the resort's main attractions.
There are good transportation links and most services are 24-hour. Which neighborhood in Menton to stay in is up to you. If proximity to the sea is important, look for a hotel with a private beach. If you want to live in the wilderness, rent a room or a house in the valley from the locals.
There are no dangerous neighborhoods in Menton. There is peace and tranquillity here, and the French police are not slumbering.
