Menton est la premi\u00e8re ville de France apr\u00e8s la fronti\u00e8re : une vieille ville aux fa\u00e7ades couleur ocre qui descend en gradins vers la mer, des jardins exotiques et un climat parmi les plus doux de la C\u00f4te d\u2019Azur. Elle est toute proche de Bordighera : une demi-heure de voiture ou quelques minutes de train depuis Vintimille.<\/p>\n
En 1346, Menton fut achet\u00e9e par les Grimaldi de Monaco et resta pendant cinq si\u00e8cles sous l\u2019autorit\u00e9 des princes mon\u00e9gasques. En 1848, apr\u00e8s une taxe sur les citrons impos\u00e9e par le prince, la ville se proclama libre avec Roquebrune. Avec les accords entre la France et le royaume de Sardaigne et le pl\u00e9biscite de 1860, elle devint fran\u00e7aise en 1861.<\/p>\n
Ruelles \u00e9troites, escaliers et placettes ombrag\u00e9es, entre de hautes maisons aux couleurs chaudes : la vieille ville se parcourt \u00e0 pied en montant depuis le bord de mer.<\/p>\n
Construite dans le style baroque dans la seconde moiti\u00e9 du XVIIe si\u00e8cle, elle domine la vieille ville et le port.<\/p>\n
Le mus\u00e9e Jean Cocteau a ouvert en 1966 dans le Bastion de 1636, sur le port ; depuis 2011, un b\u00e2timent voisin abrite la collection S\u00e9verin Wunderman. Cocteau a aussi d\u00e9cor\u00e9 la salle des mariages de la mairie, peinte entre 1957 et 1958.<\/p>\n
Menton est la ville des jardins : le jardin botanique du Val Rahmeh, la Serre de la Madone, Fontana Rosa et Maria Serena comptent parmi les plus connus.<\/p>\n
Le March\u00e9 des Halles, pr\u00e8s de la vieille ville, est l\u2019endroit id\u00e9al pour les produits locaux.<\/p>\n
En f\u00e9vrier, la f\u00eate du citron remplit la ville de chars et de sculptures faites d\u2019agrumes, avec les grandes expositions dans les jardins Biov\u00e8s. L\u2019\u00e9dition 2027 est pr\u00e9vue du 13 au 28 f\u00e9vrier. Le citron de Menton b\u00e9n\u00e9ficie d\u2019une Indication g\u00e9ographique prot\u00e9g\u00e9e.<\/p>\n
Environ 15 km : une demi-heure en voiture, ou en train avec changement \u00e0 Vintimille.<\/p>\n
En f\u00e9vrier ; en 2027, du 13 au 28 f\u00e9vrier.<\/p>\n
La vieille ville avec la basilique Saint-Michel, le bord de mer, le mus\u00e9e Jean Cocteau et l\u2019un des jardins, comme le Val Rahmeh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
