Menton
The Riviera town that locals quietly recommend over Nice. Sub-tropical microclimate, lemon-tree gardens that supply Paris's Pâtisserie Cyril Lignac, an old town climbing the hill to the cemetery where Aubrey Beardsley is buried.
A decent stretch with some sun and a chance of a shower.
Days 1–5 are usually reliable, 6–10 drift, 11–14 are the model guessing. Check again the day before you fly — more on what this can and can't do.
When to go
From the 2026 climate study, not the live forecast.The warmest microclimate on the French Riviera — citrus grows year-round. Best months are late April through June and September into late October. July and August are warm but not heat-risk thanks to the sea breeze. Sea reaches 24°C in August. The Lemon Festival in February-March is a separate trip.
