How do you get here?

Between the sea and the mountains, Menton, Riviera & Merveilles is an exceptional area. It stretches from the shores of the Mediterranean to the peaks of the Mercantour massif, up the Roya and Bévéra valleys. The urban communities of the coast give way to the villages of the middle and high country. The diversity of its landscapes makes it a unique and precious mosaic.
