Considering the Hotel Napoleon in Menton?
A VT member wrote the following comment about visiting Menton:
Le Vieux Port by TRimer
The Bastion, home to the Jean Cocteau Museum, is situation at the port's entrance. The restaurants along the water offer a wonderful variety of fresh fish which are caught daily by the local Menton fishermen.
The beach right next to the port has a lot of restuarants and activities for both tourists and locals. There are even trampolines for the children here.
