With A Unique Micro Climate
Menton has a different climate compared to the rest of the French Riviera. Because of a special micro climate that exists there, the city has weather similar to a tropical climate with hot summers and mild winters. The surrounding mountains are what helps keep Menton warmer than its surrounding cities along the Côte d'Azur.
