And if you want to try something out of the ordinary, why not try sea fishing? Whether you’re a beginner or a keen angler, come and have a go at this activity which requires a bit of luck and a lot of patience! But don’t worry, the captain will share his secrets with you when it comes to the best fish and where to find them! So be quick and book your excursion – and then head to the Vieux-Port, 10 minutes from your 3-star hotel in Menton!

Menton is well-known for its lemons and for the festival which celebrates them every year, but there’s more to it. The area is full of hiking trails, from easy to intensely difficult. Going on a hike is the perfect opportunity to explore the coast between Menton and Monaco to visit Roquebrune-Cap-Martin. Some of the trails will even taken you as far as the Italian border, or in the hinterland.
Over the last few years, one particular sporting activity has developed on the beaches of the Mediterranean. That sport is sea walking. As its name suggest, it involves walking in the sea with a paddle, if required, to make it easier to walk. It began in the north of France and has gradually spread to all of France’s coastline. It’s a sport which you can try at any time of year – all you need is a wetsuit and diving shoes. It’s an ideal way to get some exercise and enjoy fantastic sea views!

Once your activity-filled day is over, our hotel offers a range of services to ensure total relaxation. In addition to its rooms with a sea view, our two restaurants have wide-ranging menus. The Westminster offers cuisine full of Mediterranean flavours while the Côté Jardin offers brasserie-style cooking to be enjoyed among friends or with family at any time of day. As you can see, your 3-star hotel in Menton will take care of you, down to the very last detail!
