What could be more typical of Menton than Rue des Grenadiers? Narrow, steep, and bursting with colour, this little street brings together everything that defines the town’s unique charm. Menton is actually one of the most colourful places in all of France, a characteristic it shares with its Italian neighbours just across the border. You’ve probably already noticed how much this Riviera town resembles the hilltop villages of the Cinque Terre, with their vibrant, sun-washed façades. It’s an absolute dream for photography lovers—and the perfect picture of life in the South: bright, warm, and full of joy.
