This is a beautiful French home, attractively decorated and very comfortable, in a quiet and peaceful part of the beautiful town of Menton, overlooking a wooded valley with views leading down to the sea. Brigitte was a fantastic host. The house was well equipped, she made sure that we had everything that we needed for the holiday and then left us to enjoy. Access to the house was a small, fairly steep path, about a 3 minute walk from parking. It added to the charm but, as Brigitte says in the listing, wouldn't work for anyone with accessibility requirements. There is a path into the main town but it's steep and we're not very fit! As it was the school holidays, we parked outside the school below, at the bottom of the hill. The town beaches were clean and the swimming was lovely. We were there at the height of summer so the Plage de Sablettes, in front of the old town, was busy, but the others weren't as full. The old town is at the other end of Menton so it's a pretty long walk through the town but there are lots of car parks around. There are pretty lanes to explore and lots of restaurants throughout the town, those in the tourist areas and on the seafront are fairly pricey. The best supermarket we found was the Intermarché above the school. The SNCF train station is about a 20-25 min walk away and the train service all along the coast is amazing and really good value for exploring. Merci beaucoup Brigitte, c'était agréable de vous rencontrer.
