The colourful old town of Menton and its basilica by the sea

The colourful old town of Menton and its basilica

In Menton, the colourful façades of the old town rise above Les Sablettes beach. From the lanes, you reach the seafront in a few minutes, with the terraces on the quay for lunch.

Discover Menton

The old town

The old town climbs from the port through narrow lanes, where you can read the carved lintels as you pass. At the very top, you reach the Basilica of Saint-Michel. On the port, the bastion dates from 1636, when the princes of Monaco held the town. Cocteau converted it into a museum himself.

Gardens and lemons

Under the princes of Monaco, lemons were the town's main resource. The Fête du Citron, given this name in 1934, still fills the streets each February with its citrus floats. The rest of the year, people come for the gardens. The Val Rahmeh and the Serre de la Madone are open to visitors, and Garavan keeps its fine estates.

Our chauffeur services in Menton

Getting here and away

The last town in France before Italy, Menton is linked to Nice Airport by the A8, in about 1 h, at a fare set in advance, from €125. When Monaco is busy, we stay on the motorway rather than cross the principality. The price does not move, even when the traffic is heavy.

Corsos, hotels and villas

In February, the centre is closed during the Sunday corsos. We drop you before the closed area, then we agree on a pick-up point for the end of the parade. Buy your tickets in advance. On days without a corso, stroll through the Biovès gardens at your own pace. The rest of the year, our clients mostly stay in the town's hotels and in the villas of Garavan, and we collect them from their address.

A day in Menton

For the afternoon, choose the gardens in Garavan or the view from Sainte-Agnès. Before that, climb to the basilica through the lanes, stop near the covered market, then move on to the Bastion. To finish, take the return by the Grande Corniche, higher than the motorway.

Your questions

Frequently asked questions

How much is a transfer between Nice Airport and Menton?

The price is fixed, VAT included and per vehicle: €140 in an E-Class (1 to 3 passengers), €170 in a V-Class (up to 7 passengers) and €200 in an S-Class (1 to 2 passengers). From 1 November to the end of February, the winter rate brings it down (€125 in an E-Class). The price is shown before you book and does not change afterwards.

How long does it take from Nice Airport to Menton?

About 1 h to reach Menton (41 km), as a guide only: depending on the season and the time of day, the journey may take longer. Your chauffeur tracks your flight: if it is late, they wait for you and the waiting time is free.

When is the Fête du Citron?

In February, with corsos on Sundays. Check the year's dates on the official website, then book your car.

Where do you drop us on corso days?

Before the closed area in the centre. We then agree on a pick-up point for the end of the parade.

Are your prices fixed?

Yes. The price is shown before you book, including VAT and per vehicle, and it does not change afterwards.

Do you provide child seats?

Yes: child car seats and booster seats. Just mention it when you book.

Can I cancel my booking?

Yes. Up to 6 hours before pick-up, you can cancel free of charge or change your booking yourself, from your booking page (and during the hour after a booking made later than that). After that, contact us directly and we will do our very best.

How do I pay?

Directly on the website, by card, when you book: your booking is confirmed straight away. You can also pay in the car, by card (American Express accepted) or in cash.

What is the difference between a private chauffeur (VTC) and a taxi?

A VTC (private-hire chauffeur) is booked in advance and its price is fixed when you book. A taxi can be taken without booking, at a rank or in the street, and its fare usually depends on the meter. Riviera Private Driver is a VTC service.
