The location: Nestled on the Côte d'Azur between the Principality of Monaco and the Italian Riviera, Menton offers residents the very best of the French Riviera: beautiful sandy beaches, plenty of shops, exceptional gardens, excellent museums and galleries, lots of lovely restaurants as well as all the amenities you have to come to expect (banks, bakers, supermarkets etc) without the hustle and bustle and overt commercialism which afflicts much of the rest of the Côte d’Azur. Nicknamed the ‘pearl of France’, Menton is one of the quietest resorts of the French Riviera and retains a sense of its own past with its old town of tangled stepped lanes, pink/cream/ochre houses and tall Italianate churches just waiting to be explored. Menton is also the perfect base from which to discover the surrounding area with its perched villages (such as Grasse, the ‘capital’ of the perfume industry in the 17th and 18th centuries), mountain passes perfect for hiking (two long distance paths - Grand Randonnées - pass close by) and beautiful valleys like the Vallée de la Vesubie. It is also just 20 minutes drive from Nice Côte d’Azur airport.Activities: Sports and activities available locally include sailing, rowing, football, rugby, basketball, volleyball, handball, baseball, badminton, tennis, table tennis, martial arts, swimming, diving, karting, athletics, gymnastics, cheerleading, majorettes, archery, fishing, petanque, billiards, cycling, hiking and many more. Food – local specialities:Fresh fruit, vegetables and seafood feature heavily in Provençal cuisine reflecting the climate and geography of the region and differentiating it from the cuisine of other regions of France. Typical dishes include bouillabaisse (a seafood stew made with tomatoes, olive oil, wine, herbs and spices), daube provençal (stew of vegetables, garlic, herbs and beef braised in wine), soupe au pistou (a minestrone-style soup made from tomatoes, beans, summer squashes, potatoes, olive oil and basil) and aïoli (a thick, garlic mayonnaise often served with fish). There is also a notable Italian influence to much of the food served in Menton due to its proximity to the Italian border (which is less than 3 km away).Financing:We have our own French mortgage brokerage service in order to find the most suitable mortgage for you.
