Description:

Just like its French neighbor, the Italian Riviera is full of attractive towns, sandy beaches, and a spectacular coastline. Cross the Italian border to explore lively street markets in Sanremo or Ventimiglia, and then fall in love with Menton—the prettiest town in France.

Choose to visit vibrant Ventimiglia on Saturday or Friday or glamorous San Remo on Tuesdays. Both towns are famed for their lively street markets, bustling Italian atmosphere, and picturesque historic centers.

Charming, seaside Ventimiglia is located right over the Italian side of the border. Admire the remains of a Roman theater from the 2nd century and the Cathedral of the Assunta, which dates back to the 11th century. Gaze at the ancient stone houses and squares lined with delightful artisan shops. San Remo, overlooking the Ligurian Sea, is known for its mild climate. Check out the charming Art Nouveau villas and casino and stop to try some delicious cuisine like fresh pasta, savory pizza, or seafood salad in a local café.

Back in France, ride to the alluring village of Menton. During the Belle Epoque, this was a favorite destination for the British aristocracy, who regularly spent their winters here. Walk through the medieval town center, and head to the botanical garden, famous for its large variety of exotic plant species. Walk down to the seaside to take in the views of the harbor before your return to the city center.
