One-night rail city break to Menton on France's Côte d'Azur

Menton, a rail journey with railtour suisse

railtour suisse, a Swiss rail tour operator, offers this two-day, one-night city break from Switzerland to Menton, on France's Côte d'Azur close to the Italian and Monaco borders. The package includes rail travel and one night in a 3-star Menton hotel, from 507 Swiss francs per person. No day-by-day itinerary is included in the evidence, so exact timings are not confirmed here. Menton's old town, Vieux-Menton, is described for its colourful houses set against the Mediterranean, and the city is known as the 'Land of Lemons,' home to a famous lemon festival each February and lemon jam sold at the Les Halles market. Other highlights include the sandy Les Sablettes beach and gardens such as the Palais de Carnolès, Maria Serena and Fontana Rosa, planted by British botanists in the 19th century. This short break suits independent travellers drawn to Mediterranean scenery and gardens.
