Menton, nicknamed the 'Pearl of France', is the last French town before the Italian border. This city enjoys the mildest microclimate on the entire Côte d'Azur and is famous worldwide for its Lemon Festival, which attracts over 200,000 visitors each February and March. Old Menton, with its pastel ochre and pink facades, the Basilica of Saint Michael the Archangel and its stepped alleyways, offers a uniquely Italianate atmosphere. From Nice Côte d'Azur Airport, the taxi ride to Menton follows one of the Mediterranean's most spectacular coastlines. You pass along the Promenade des Anglais, then the vehicle takes the A8 motorway or the legendary Corniche roads overlooking the sea, passing through Monaco along the way. In 35 minutes, you travel from the airport terminal to the fragrant lanes of Menton with no stress and no connections.
Route
Route Aéroport Nice Côte d'Azur → Menton
From Nice Côte d'Azur Airport, the driver takes the expressway eastbound and joins the A8 motorway (La Provençale). The motorway crosses the Nice hills at altitude, passes above the Villefranche-sur-Mer harbour through a series of tunnels and viaducts, bypasses Monaco via the Monte-Carlo tunnel, then crosses Roquebrune-Cap-Martin before exit 59 Menton. From there, it is a 5-minute drive down to the town centre. The scenic alternative follows the Moyenne Corniche (D6007): the driver leaves the A8 at the Nice-Est exit and takes this legendary road clinging to the cliffs. You pass through Èze Village, perched 429 metres above the sea with breathtaking panoramas, then Beausoleil overlooking Monaco. The Basse Corniche (M6098) is a third option hugging the coastline through Villefranche-sur-Mer, Beaulieu-sur-Mer and Cap-d'Ail.
Main route: A8 sortie 59 Menton / Moyenne Corniche (D6007) — ~3 € (section Nice–Menton)

Tips & best practices
Specific tips for the Aéroport Nice Côte d'Azur → Menton route
For travellers arriving at Nice Airport bound for Menton, a taxi is by far the most practical option, especially with luggage. Provide your flight number when booking so the driver can track your landing and wait stress-free in the arrivals area. If visiting for the Lemon Festival (February-March), book at least a week in advance as demand is exceptional. On Menton market days (Tuesday to Sunday mornings), traffic around the Halles is heavy and the driver will adjust the route accordingly. In summer, traffic on the Basse Corniche and through Monaco can add 15 minutes: the A8 motorway is preferable. If you want to enjoy the views, ask for the Moyenne Corniche with a photo stop at Èze.
