Menton was a sweet surprise – despite les citrons! There was the beautiful festival of course, but I fell in love with the town itself, so colourful and lovely architecture.
Menton has about 30 000 inhabitants, and a pleasant micro climate, which makes it an ideal place for growing their fruits. I could stay here for a while…Just let these harbour pictures charm you!
Of course I must finish with another couple of pictures from this year’s olympic theme. And the last picture goes to my son, who still is an avid skateboarder.

Such a colourful, lovely place to be!
Thank you, Dina, I loved it. Calm and peaceful too.
Fun!

A lovely town, and those creations with the fruits are truly amazing! Although I’m not sure how the crocodile fits the Olympic theme?!
Haha, well, it was in the market – not sure it participated in the games…
Menton apparently used to be The Place to Be for the English of a certain class at the end of the 19th century, so I imagine it also has an air of faded grandeur. It seems to have kept up with the times though. Thanks for the tour.
Thank you for coming along, Margaret. You made the grandeur even more grand!
What a colourful city and the citrus fruit sculptures are fantastic.
Thank you, Jude, the city was a nice surprise! We never visited back in 1976. Thanks to Viveka we knew about the citrus festival.
It’s always spectacular

I so what to visit that area of France again. Lovely photos, they do promote the town beautifully
Thank you, Ritva, I agree. In fact we never visited Menton back in 1976. So it was a lovely meeting.
That’s quite a harbour!
It is. And the houses were so special, both in colour and architecture.

They really are, and much work behind them too.
