Menton
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- While the Côte d’Azur is horrible in my opinion, I find some small towns like Menton and Antibes very charming.
- Eze, Monaco, Cannes and many more places (like Menton, Antibes and even Italy) are quickly and easily reachable by train from Nice.
- Antibes, Menton, Monaco, and Imperia (Italy) are all recommended.
- Menton — calm, pastel, and a nice contrast to Nice
- I'd explore the coastal towns around Nice, which are super beautiful, have phenomenal food, and offer really easy transit to bop between the towns by local without needing to rent a car. My favorites: Èze & Menton.
Cons
- We were there in August and one of our favourite places in Menton had been shut down with a couple others in a tax evasion/extortion bust so the only place left was more expensive and quality not as good.
