The French town of Menton on the Côte d'Azur, located near the Italian border, is attracting campervan travellers as a cheaper alternative to Italy's Amalfi. Unlike Nice, Cannes and Monaco, it is less crowded.
The town offers colourful streets, quiet beaches and local markets, with nearby parking for exploring on foot. For route planning, apps such as Park4Night and Campercontact are recommended, along with portable solar panels to save battery.
Menton has several campsites and parking areas, including Camping Vallescrosia and Camping Saint Michel. Overnight stays in a properly parked campervan are allowed if no external elements are used. Large campervans are advised to stay outside the historic centre due to narrow streets.
