How the Lemon Town feels like in Autumn 🍋🥐☕️

#hellohalloween #menton 🍋 Menton in October October in Menton feels like a soft farewell to summer. The sun still shines warmly over the pastel buildings, the crowds are gone, and the rhythm of the town slows into something peaceful and poetic. The air smells of citrus and sea breeze, and the streets glow in shades of yellow and coral. 🌿 Start your day wandering through the Old Town, where narrow stairways lead to hidden viewpoints and flower-filled balconies. The facades are sun-faded and charming, and every turn opens to a glimpse of the blue Mediterranean. 🌊 Head down to the promenade — the beaches are quiet, perfect for a barefoot walk along the water. The sea stays warm enough for a swim, and the calmness of the bay makes it even more inviting. 🌸 Visit the famous gardens like the Serre de la Madone or Jardin Botanique Val Rahmeh. In October, they’re peaceful, lush, and filled with late-blooming flowers. The air feels cooler, carrying the scent of lemons and herbs. 🍋 Don’t miss tasting local lemon specialties — tarte au citron, limoncello, or even lemon jam from the markets. The lemons here are small bursts of sunshine, the pride of the town. 🎃 Halloween in Menton is low-key but charming. You’ll see carved pumpkins in bakery windows, a few decorations along the promenade, and cozy cafés lit with candles. Nice and Monaco are nearby if you want bigger festivities, but in Menton, it’s more about warm lights and quiet evenings. 🌇 End your day watching the sunset from the Basilica Saint-Michel terrace — the view over the rooftops and sea is breathtaking, especially when the sky turns pink and gold. 💛 Menton in October feels like a gentle dream — a mix of sunshine, sea, and serenity, where autumn arrives with lemon-scented air and the calm beauty of the Riviera at rest.
