After driving 1500 miles our France trip lands in THE BEST town on the French Riviera and we visit the second smallest, and wealthiest, country in the World all in one day!
Menton is a town within touching distance of Italy but with all the charms of France. In fact it blends both French and Italian themes amazingly well, we had to go and check it out. We left the van at our campsite and hopped on the train from Nice to Menton to check out the Pearl of the French Riviera.
After exploring the old town, market, extensive beaches and the amazing winding Roman streets we stumble across the impressive Basilica of Saint-Michel-Archange. Outside it is amazing, and we'd have loved to look inside but it was shut when we were there. That said the surrounding streets were also stunning.
We passed Monaco on the way to Menton on the train, so in the afternoon we decided to make a short stop in this millionaires playground. We'd have loved more time there, but managed to see the casino and a few other sites. Oh and the cars - an interesting and funny experience.
The campsite we stayed at is called Camping de La Laune, and we loved it there. Check it out here: www.campingdelalaune.com
This campsite unlocks so much, we have been to Nice and Eze in our time here. You can view the videos and others from our France 2023 travels here: • France Summer Camperva...
