About this activity

Soak up the cheerful yellow facades, turquoise waters, and golden sunshine of Menton on a relaxed private walk designed for great photos and delicious grazing.

Begin at the lively Marché des Halles right on the Italian border. Dive straight into local snacking with warm, golden barbajuans—crispy pastry pockets stuffed with greens and ricotta—alongside fluffy Ligurian focaccia, pissaladière, and regional olives. Next, celebrate the town's famous fruit with sweet and savoury citrus tastings, from artisan lemon preserves to an icy glass of fresh citronnade or chilled limoncello.

From the market, follow your private guide through vibrant pastel lanes via a gentle, low-incline route that skips the steep stair climbs. Head up to the pebble-mosaic terrace of Saint-Michel Cathedral to snap the ultimate postcard panorama overlooking the azure bay, colourful beaches, and the Italian coastline before wrapping up along the sunny waterfront.
