Across Borders: Italian Markets and Riviera Elegance

Cross the border into Italy for a day that blends colour, flavour, and history. Begin in Ventimiglia, where stalls overflow with leather goods, shoes, handbags, and local specialities. Enjoy free time to browse, bargain, and soak up the lively market atmosphere.

Continue to nearby San Remo, the elegant seaside town famed for its palm-lined promenades. This is your moment to savour Ligurian cuisine—think fresh pasta, pesto, focaccia, and seafood—at a café or trattoria of your choice.

Back in France, stroll through Menton’s old town: a sun-washed maze of baroque facades, gardens, and seaside views. Depending on your interests and opening hours, you may visit one of its celebrated gardens or the Jean Cocteau museum. Finish in La Turbie, home to an impressive Roman vestige and a panoramic lookout over Monaco—an unforgettable finale to a perfectly balanced day.
