The main agenda was to meet up with family and explore the Brocante fair in town,. the atmosphere was filled with the cheerful chatter of families and the aroma of fresh pastries and vintage treasures.
After immersing ourselves in the fair's ambiance, we strolled along the coastline, where the winter fairground had been set up. The vibrant colors of the fairground attractions made the coastline come alive, a stark contrast to the serene waters and blue skies. The distant sound of laughter and the cheerful melodies of carnival music filled the air, creating an irresistible lighthearted atmosphere.

Menton had transformed into a picturesque canvas, offering a blend of history, culture, and vibrant festivities. The day was a true testament to the art of seizing the perfect moment and creating memories.
