Gorbio: time to wander
Above Menton and Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, Gorbio has covered passages, small squares and fountains. Choose it for an unhurried walk, architectural details and a quiet pause. Plan your return transport before setting out, particularly when travelling by bus.
Sainte-Agnès: views and military heritage
Sainte-Agnès combines views over Menton’s bay with castle remains and a medieval garden. Its fort belongs to the history of the Alpine Maginot Line. A village walk and a fort visit can make a rewarding combination when tours are available during your stay.
Sospel: the Bévéra Valley
Sospel offers another introduction to the inland region, with the Pont Vieux and Saint-Michel Cathedral among its landmarks. Allow time to enjoy the town instead of treating it as a brief stop between several destinations.
Plan around your chosen village
Pick the place first, then check transport. Winding roads and less frequent connections can make apparently short journeys take longer. For a walk beyond the village, prepare a suitable route and check local conditions.
Return to Menton for sea views and a relaxed evening on the terrace at the Winter Palace.
