Description
The Jardin Fontana Rosa, also known as the "Garden of the Novelists", is a hidden treasure in Menton, created in 1922 by Spanish writer Vicente Blasco Ibáñez.
This Andalusian and modernist-inspired garden is a tribute to the great authors of literature, with ornate earthenware busts and benches bearing the effigies of Cervantes, Dickens and Shakespeare.
Classified as a historical monument, it has an exotic atmosphere, with palm trees, flowering pergolas and pools adorned with dazzling mosaics. A true haven of peace, it invites you to stroll in a unique setting where art, literature and nature come together in perfect harmony.
