The seaside resort of Menton France
Places to visit and stay in Menton the town is in the Côte d'Azur region of France about 1 mile from the Italian border.
On the Mediterranean coast with the Ligurian Alps at the back of the town. It gives the town a warm climate most of the year and shelters it form the cold Mistral winds you get on this coast.
The area used to earn most of its income from the lemon, tangerine and orange groves. Now most of its income is from tourists and people retiring to live in a mild climate.

They build statues covered with lemons and oranges some are driven round the street on trucks.
The Casino Gardens are also used for the displays as you can see in the photo.

Holiday Rental apartment Paris
This large 2-bedroom apartment is a delight to come home to after a long days sightseeing and window shopping. Located on the first floor (2nd floor for North Americans), with a lift, the apartment overlooks rue Custine, one of the most interesting street in Paris to walk through.
Though facing the street, the double-glazed windows give you excellent insulation against any daily passerby.
The apartment has been tastefully decorated in vibrant colors, which catch the natural light streaming into the apartment. As the view is not obstructed closely by another building in front, you benefit from the sunlight and can enjoy your morning breakfast a the wooden dinning table which extends to seat 6.
In the living room you will find a sofa bed that sleeps two. We also have installed a flat screen TV with cable (as well as a dvd player and some dvd's) and have high speed internet access for your laptop computers so you can remain in touch. We also provide you with a Mac Computer in the apartment, a free Phone during your stay and a Bose bluetooth station.
