Menton Weather And Best Time To Visit Menton

Planning A Trip To Menton? Here's a snapshot of Menton weather and the best time to visit Menton

Menton is a small commune located in the Cote d’Azur region of south-eastern France. The last French Riviera resort before you end up in Italy, Menton is mostly recognized for its famous lemons. The unique microclimate of this part of France favours the production of these citrus fruits, with plenty of sunshine almost all through the year driving a large number of tourists to Menton every year. It is the kind of city where one simply strolls around exploring its numerous gardens and dining in its rustic cafes and restaurants. The calm ambience of this resort town may not appeal to the thrill-seekers and adventurers, but if you are looking for a short escape from the glamorous crowds of the fancier Nice or Cannes, Menton is the place to be. Here is all you need to know about the weather and best time to visit Menton.

Known as the off-season among tourists, winters are the slowest months of the year in terms of local business. Most of the hotels and restaurants also remain closed during this time and only reopen for Christmas and New Year’s festivities. With an average temperature of 9⁰C, January and February are the coldest months in the season. One of the main highlights of planning a trip during the winters is if you do so in the month of February, you can catch the annual Lemon Festival that is celebrated with a lot of gusto in the city and marks one of the most important events in the region. 

Spring (March – May)
