Menton is a truly magnificent city which has a particular microclimate, even better than that of Nice. The city is sheltered by the mountains which literally fall at the feet of the city and protect it. Its old town is one of the most beautiful on the Mediterranean coast.

In winter, the lemon festival gives it even more color. And she already has a lot! Menton is located on the border with Italy.

People from Menton often go shopping in Ventimiglia, the nearest Italian town which is just over the border.

There is an institution in Menton: jams from Maison Herbin. I invite you to taste them, by taking a tour of their store.

Castillon Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Fantastically beautiful pass road without traffic, as this runs mostly on the new road.

Attention: the new road is closed to cyclists, because at the top of the pass there is a 1km long, single-lane tunnel. This highlight is located on the old road that runs exactly over the tunnel of the new road. Therefore it may happen that komoot sends you on the new road. Be sure to check before driving!

Col de Castillon via the old pass road

Highlight (Segment) • Other

A quiet and little sought after pass near the summit thanks to the tunnel not accessible by bike. The Col de Castillon is 12 km long from Menton with an elevation gain of 649 m and an average gradient of 5.3%.

Sospel

Highlight • Settlement

In Sospel, you are already in Italy!

You will discover very pretty streets and alleys with colorful houses where it is pleasant to stroll, a superb baroque-style cathedral, but also the Pont-Vieux, as well as several still standing Maginot Line fortifications.

Col de Vescavo – Olivetta San Michele Border Crossing

Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Pass

Small and westernmost municipality in all of Liguria, Olivetta San Michele is located between Col de Vescavo and Airole, along the banks of the Bevera stream. Here the Ligurian Roiasco dialect is spoken, but - a unique case in Liguria - the entire municipal territory also belongs to the historical Occitan linguistic minority. Olivetta, which has a station on the Ventimiglia-Turin route in the hamlet of San Michele, is part of the Union of the municipalities of the Nervia and Roja Valleys.
