Illuminations and decorations

Gone are the days of dreariness and cold, of viruses and gloom, as the City of Menton sets out to cheer up the hearts of Mentonnais young and old by celebrating Christmas in style.

As it does every year, the city of Lemons will be decked out in its finest Christmas lights.

From the valleys to the city center, via the impressive and ever-popular starry sky and some 2.2km of magic along the seafront, 440 motifs will grace your evenings thanks to agents from the municipal technical center. Take a tour of the town and its traffic circles to feast your eyes on one of our festive itineraries.

The Biovès gardens, meanwhile, will host a host of decorations for all to enjoy.

A little train will take children behind the scenes of a year at the North Pole, with Santa Claus and his team!

The Christmas market, on the Francis Palmero esplanade and the mail du Bastion, as well as in Les Sablettes, will be just as magical, with gifts, delicacies and entertainment for young and old.

We wish you a wonderful Christmas in Menton!
