The slogan for the city was not chosen at random ! With an exceptionally mild climate and 316 days of sunshine a year, Menton is a paradise for botanists who have aclimatised exotic plants brought from far away trips. The sub-tropical species flourist and grow at ease in Menton.
Besides it’s exceptional public gardens such as La Serre de la Madone, Maria Serena, Val Rahmeh and Fontana Rosa, the novelists garden, or the private gardens, such as the "Colombières" or the "Clos Peyronnet", Menton posesses hectares of green spaces such as the magnificant olive trees in the "Parc du Pian", the "Plateau Saint-Michel" and the"Ubac" urban forest.
The urban gardens such as the "Square des Etats-Unis", avenue Carnot,the "Campanin" gardens or the "Quai Bonaparte" are a recent creation in the city.
