Things to do in Menton

The botanical garden on the top of the hill in the town of Eze was once a castle. It was destroyed by Louis XIV's army during the Spanish War in 1706, and the ruins of the castle became the current botanical garden. In the exotic botanical garden, hundreds of exotic plants are gathered, including: agave, aloe, cactus, etc. There are more than 400 varieties in total, mainly from America and Africa. In addition to these exotic flowers and plants, there are also many sculptures by French sculptor Jean Richard Philips.

The villa is surrounded by nine gardens, including French gardens, Spanish gardens, and Japanese dry landscape gardens… Walking through the gardens, you see the pink villa above, flowers below, and the boundless sea in the distance. This location is truly a viewpoint favored by God.

Nice's Old Town is truly charming! The intricate network of alleyways feels like an adventure. Brightly colored houses line both sides, along with various interesting shops and delicious restaurants. Here, you can experience a rich Southern European atmosphere; it's incredibly romantic and perfect for a leisurely stroll and enjoying a relaxing time.

In summer, come to the lotus pond to pick lotus pods. A wooden boardwalk has been built, allowing you to walk directly to the middle of the pond and pick the lotus pods without stepping in the mud. The large pods are within easy reach. Freshly picked lotus seeds are tender, white, sweet, and crisp; a bite is refreshingly sweet and not greasy. They're sold by weight, cheaper than at the market. Sitting by the boardwalk, slowly peeling them, the cool breeze blowing from the pond is delightful. They taste better than store-bought lotus seeds. Spending a leisurely afternoon there leaves you feeling refreshed, even your breath is filled with the fragrance of lotus blossoms.

It is very distinctive, like a castle in a fairy tale.
