Weitere Informationen:
Menton is a commune in the Alpes-Maritimes department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region on the French Riviera. It is nicknamed the Pearl of France and located on the Mediterranean Sea at the Franco-Italian border, just across from the Ligurian town of Ventimiglia. Menton has always been an important frontier town. For centuries it formed the border between Provence and Genoa as part of Monaco. It has been French ever since the plebiscite of 1860 when it soon became a fashionable tourist centre with grand mansions and gardens. Its temperate Mediterranean climate is especially favorable to the citrus industry with which it is strongly identified.
