Beautiful place with amazing view of Menton
Outstanding. The views and the state of peace are unmatched
If you are in the Menton area, don't hesitate to go to the Old Cemetery. It is an interesting place with fabulous views of the bay. Highly recommended before sunset and enjoy the quite streets of the Old Town
We discovered this place by accident - driving along the Boulevard de Garavan - a dazzling drive, scented by Cedar trees looking down to the aquamarine Mediterranean below but reaching it by car is treacherous. If you have to reverse to allow oncoming traffic to pass - the drop down to the sea is a long way. Very narrow road. But once find your way here - the views are incredable - along the coast to Italy on your left and to Cap Martin on your right. Inside this very ancient Cemetry on a outcrop overlooking the red tiled rooftops below - the final resting places of familys are more like little houses, forever gazing out to sea. When we descended to Menton below and sitting in a cafe next to the sea and told someone where we had been - they gave us a look and said 'most people walk to visit it'.
Small but beautiful. Best views of Menton and surroundings. Access by foot allows to roam through the historical old town.
Arrived at the gate at 4PM and it was closed, even though it is supposed to close at 5PM. No explanation provided!
