Is there a one day pass for use on the rail system so that we can visit Menton and ventimglia on the same day for example?
Last summer (from 1st June until 30th September) there was a one day pass called 'Carte Isabelle'. It cost 12 euros, and was valid mainly on the coastal routes around Nice.
This is where I found it:

I don't know if they will offer it this year as well, but worth to check later on...
Thanks for this. We are travelling shortly so it probably won't be on offer then.
This was the subject of a long thread earlier. There is nothing to stop you buying a return ticket to Ventimiglia, and breaking your journey at Menton for a look around.You have paid the fare for the whole journey, and you are not travelling any additional miles, merely breaking your journey. No one so far has come up with any "small print" thats explicitly says you can't, so I would do it. As long as you validate your ticket in the "composteur" (date and time stamp) at the start of the journey each way you should be travelling within the rules.
ALBERT 1ST GARDEN: One of the city's oldest garden connecting the Old Town (VIELLE VILLE) to the modern city.
Overlooking the sea & located in the center of Nice, it forms a continuous 2 km green path through Nice beginning at the Mediterannean Sea & including the Paillon Promenade & Square Leclerc.
Another of Nice's traditions are candied fruits. To be found in the Flower market and specialist stalls in the winding alleys of Vieux Nice.
Made with much sugar, try a good number of these, and your dentist will thank you for it.

This structure is a memorial to the Allied soldiers who died during the landings in southern France in 1944. The most striking feature is that it is cut right from the mountain face.
You can find this on Quai Rauba Capeu facing the sea on the south side of the hill that Parc de Chateau sits on.
Friday morning's must-do excursion is the bustling market of Ventimiglia, a few kilometres the other side of the Italian border. Here you can stock up with cheapest parmesan, alcohol and cigarettes, designer label clothes ( - or remarkably similar copies!) fake luxury branded goods like handbags and scarves, silk ties, lookalike rolexes, leather goods, as much as you can carry.
This is one trip where you need the train, from Nice Gare SNCF direct to Ventimille. Be sure to get a seat on the right side facing the engine for fine views of coast as the train winds its way along past Villefranche towards Monaco and beyond past Menton and finally total 50 minutes journey time to Italy.
If you can't make Friday, the market moves on Saturday to San Remo further around the Italian Riviera coast. This is accessible in main season by a round boat trip from the port
If you are in Ventimiglia for lunch, cross over from the commercial side to the old town and head around th corner of the beachfront. On the road-side is the wonderful friendly cheap cheerful and fantastically forgetably named Bar Restaurant
