Walks & Gardens of the French Riviera

All transport mentioned in the itinerary is included, except for optional excursions or where a client may choose to curtail a group walk. Airport transfers will be by private coach; throughout the week, public transport including buses and trains will be used.

Just a three-minute walk from the sea yet still in the heart of Menton, this 89-room hotel makes the perfect base for a week of walking.  

Spend downtime on the rooftop, enjoying views across terracotta-topped buildings to the sea and mountains or chatting with the group over a cocktail or two from the bar. 

On the ground-floor, Le Mediterranee restaurant serves “French classics with a Mediterranean twist” – food you can enjoy on the air-conditioned veranda; in the mornings, fuel up for our walks with a buffet breakfast, which includes pastries, pancakes, Menton marmalade, eggs, sausages, bacon and more.

Seven breakfasts are included. There is a nearby supermarket and boulangerie to buy packed lunches and Menton is brimming with restaurant choices for your evening meal. Due to the towns proximity to the Italian border there are some excellent Italian restaurants and the cuisine has a distinct Mediterranean feel rather than traditional French cuisine in general.

Throughout the week, you will be accompanied by a local leader. Although they do not stay in the hotel, they will coordinate the airport transfers, guide all walks and join the group for a farewell dinner in the hotel at the end of the week.
