Menton travel guide. Old Town, beaches, and local tips

15/11/202626/06/2020 by Mirela Letailleur (The Travel Bunny)

This Menton travel guide follows the French Riviera town from its waterfront to the steep streets of the Old Town, with local advice on beaches, trains, parking, and where to stay. On my first trip, I arrived by sailboat from Cannes with my husband, spent two nights in Vieux-Port, swam at Plage des Sablettes, and explored the basilica and old castle viewpoints after dark. Our confusing marina arrival also taught me which details visiting sailors need to check ahead. If you’re planning a Menton day trip from Nice or a longer stay, I’ll help you choose what to visit and how to save money on the coast.

Visit Cannes by Boat. Sailing from Saint-Raphaël to Vieux Port

Want to visit Cannes by boat? I sailed from Saint-Raphaël to Vieux Port de Cannes aboard Puzzle, passing Cap Dramont, Île d’Or, and the red Estérel coast along the Corniche d’Or. We moored in the busy harbor, ate aboard, and explored Le Suquet after dark. This firsthand Cannes sailing guide covers berth reservations, marina arrivals, waterfront walks, and overnight stops. I also explain anchoring near the Îles de Lérins and boat excursions for visitors without a sailboat. You’ll get practical advice grounded in our trip, including the Cannes beachfront walk we mistakenly thought was La Croisette on our first visit.
