Cheers for joining us in Menton where it's 40€ to go to a beach club and 2€ for a croissant!!!! Haha.. thoughts?! If you'd like a copy of the Google Pins from this series, join our crew on Patreon: www.patreon.com/kristinastravels Cheers team, and see you in the comments section! 👇❤
Where I live, for non-residents it's 20 bucks for daily parking and 10 bucks per person to get on the beach! And no chair or umbrella! BYO everything ;-) Merci beaucoup for the tour. Beautiful town! Bon appetite!
@@Charlie-Oooooo There is a lot of free parking in Menton, and parking in Monaco is cheap in one of its many underground car parks. Also, Menton has one of the best Ice Cream shops on the Cote d'Azur. I frquently pop to Menton from Monaco just to get an Ice cream. Also, not far from Menton, in Italy. there are great rock pools with a waterfall to go to.
Yes but wait, this video was super but what some people don’t know is in the mountains surrounding Menton are some of the most surreal and beautiful villas that have some of the best views in the history of views 😊 ❤❤❤❤
Personally, I much prefer the towns from Menton to just before Nice. Menton is fantastic at Christmas as the whole town is lit up, but Monaco at Christmas is spectacular. Menton, due to it's micro climate, is actually the sunniest town in France, and the seafront and the sea are very clean and well maintained.
Hey Tom!! Cheers for the love 🥰 Of course… we’re heading to the casino… so hopefully I’m not flagged by YT… haha.. I’ll have to read the T&C’s of that 😂🤣
🤩😜 Yesss, we def should have arrived at 1pm to really soak it all up! 🤗 Cheers Matt, def add this one to the list for sure.. and so close from Monaco too!
Great video Kristina! Sitting here drinking my coffee in Georgia USA dreaming of having your lifestyle within the next few years. Thanks for continuing to inspire us! ❤
Incredibly beautiful area. Thanks so much for showing it. Something to learn, learn and practice the rolling hitch. This is what you clap on a line so you can add tension to it and then be able to get it apart later. I say practice, because when a line jams on a winch or similarly, you are going to need to do this quickly in bad weather, probably in the dark with at least a sail, if not the whole boat, on the line. I will also mention that self tailing winches are relatively new and that is why there are always convenient cleats to tail against and make fast to.
Just came across your channel yesterday and I’m already hooked! Marvelous work! Your choice of scenery, views, etc is superb! Having been to South of France, you make me miss it more! Good job!
Oh that's amazing!! I'm so glad UA-cam connected us. Thank you for not only your wonderful support, but also taking the time to leave your lovely and inspiring comment -- so kind of you! 😊 Hope you have a great weekend and enjoy the upcoming locations!!! Some amazing trips to come Akko!
Another “wow” video! I have never previously heard of Menton before either, but your video makes it so enticing. Right now you are my number 1 sailing channel. I just love the out-of-the-way locations that you are visiting. Cant wait for your next video.
Hey Sailers ❤ Love your French tour, City is so vibrant ❤ John has done very good work on board ❤ Looking forward for your Monaco Trip ❤ Have a Great Day ❤️
@@KristinasTravelsamazing video Like always! We have a boat we keep in Cannes marina but never piloted it to Menton. But definitely will after seeing what a great time you guys had!
Hi Katrina! It's a pleasure to meet and drive you to your hotel last night with your friend! Hope to meet you again. Good content by the way. From now on, i will follow and subscribe to your channel.
Wow! That's so beautiful 😍. The food looks amazing!!! Super impressed you guys aren't morbidly obese. This far all the food this season has looked soooo good. Keep up the great work.
Haha, cheers Simon! I guess all the walking around, hiking, and climbing over islands keeps us fit 🤣 Yes, the food has been gooodddd! Cant wait to show you the rest of the Riviera! 🤗 Have a great week ahead S!
Hi my husband and I stumbled across your channel yesterday and love it I’m torn between Mento n and Ville Franche if you and to chose one which one would you chose please ❤
Here in the netherlands, you have mainly beach clubs whereby you have to pay for your bed umbrella which is normal to us. Hoever off course you can lay close to the sea which is free. Love your videos and every time i watch, i just smile. I love sailing but unfortunately due to my health i cant any longer, so keep on coming with your videos so can enjoy your journey. Stay safe
80 euro on that well protected marina with hookup and unlimited water is reasonable but 40 euro for two hours at the beach club is crazy. Especially with the public beach right next door that didn’t look horribly crowded. Taking your own sun umbrella and portable loungers to the public beach is the way to go. Spend the money on meals or a local made Souvenir. My wife and do occasionally go to a pay beach in Fort Pierce Florida but it’s like only 6 dollars per vehicle and has nice facilities, playground, covered picnic areas and a beautiful sandy beach. We love packing a picnic lunch and can spend a whole day at the beach for very little. Great memories don’t require big bucks. There’s nothing wrong with being frugal. Saving your money early is how you were able to live your best life sailing while still young. It’s not being cheap, it’s being smart. Cheers from Wellington Florida.☀️🏝️⛵️
Fantastic episode, gotta love a well stocked fresh food market to use as a base. Still not sold on a pebble or rock beach. I feel a beach should be sandy. I reckon sitting on the seawall would be surreal blowing a gale with a nice 6ft wave. Can't come at paying for a beach lounge either but certainly will pay for fresh French croissants
Cheers Sean! Absolutely - that market is brilliant. Honestly one of the quaintest and nicest in Europe I’ve been to! 🙂 Highly recommend. Yes, I hear you about the beach.. pebbles are very un-natural! 🤣 and 100% re: croissants 🥐 … try to give John a run for his money with x3! 😅
Absolutely fabulous episode guys ‼️ 🎉 💕 ✨ Menton.......what an amazing place 🙌🏻🙌🏻 Depending on health care, and a few other things, living there would be wonderful ❤ And with our boat readily available, just perfect. Looking forward to this series. 👍🏻👏🏻 See you next time. ✨ 🌊 💨 ⛵️ 🏝️ 👙 🌞 ✨
Hey Joe - oh, it honestly would be incredible living there in Menton. Such an incredible spot - everything at your fingertips, like the potato stand holder said - sea, mountains, skiing in winter 😻
Hello, I love all of your videos. Just curious how do you rent a dock for your sail boat and is that expensive in France and how much are the overall docking fee the rest of the world?
I thought exactly the same thing when editing this episode!!! When I showed John he was a bit 'agghhhh' haha, but I'll have to show him your lovely comment, it'll be a nice boost of confidence ❤️ Thank you!
Wonderful part of France. Have been to a few destinations on your route but not Menton - its delightful! Had to check property prices and was quite surprised at some of the appartment prices as they are quite reasonable! I'll add that to the location list for retirement :) Enjoy the travels on the Cóte d'azur! PS John those croisants are amazing - am very very Jealous as no way I can get those here in UK!!
Okay, you got the beach club experience done. Spend the money on a lock box that you can carry with you when you go to a French bakery, buy your pastry and place in the lock box until you get back to the boat. Menu suggestion for you: use a croissant as a substitute for bread next time you make French toast. :¬) Webhead USA
WOWWWWW!!! Crazy for 20 years ago -- incredible stuff! Thanks for sharing Conrad :) Ps.. What a legend.. I can see you've been a subscriber for 2+ years, super grateful for ya matey! Thanks for your endless support while we continue to grow :) Cheers xx K
Pleased you did the walk up through the old town to the cemetery ,this is the area where the James Bond film was shot with the chase in the tunnel, duty free goods can be found on the french Italie border.
easy to make tartar at home. just buy a really fresh meat (like from the butcher) and pass it through the meat grinder. in Germany there are butcher shops who will do it for you. It's a thing not only in france, but in all europe
Its very interesting what you think about free beach, and expencive sunbed, I think that its free beach better, but my back hurts on sand, so some people take they sunbed to free beach. I think that is redicilus to pay in my country.... Belgrade Serbia sunbed on lake Ada ciganlija 10 to 16 euros😂
You're way too kind!! Thank you so much for your support RocketMan!! Always great to see you here saying g'day! Hope all is well your way and thank you for the confidence boost, you're the best! Great way to start my Monday 🥰 KC x
Maybe I’m to Aussie……..but pay to go to the beach is a No from me! SA has some of the best beaches you’ll find anywhere in the world, and not a pebble in sight!
So so very true!!! Bias about SA beaches too hehe! 😜 Hmmm, I mean.. it was an ‘experience’ - an ‘expensive experience’… but… hey… we did it. Might be another 3 decades before we do it again 🤣
Australia has some beautiful beaches. Recently moved to WA and I am shocked by how stunning the beaches are here, compared to the eastern states. And parking at the beach is also free here! ❤
I love that area, I drove my Beetle around there in 91, showing my age now, but what a spectacular area., we sat outside the Casino for hours watching millionaires arriving in their supercars and flying their helicopters off the back of their super yachts.
Ohhh wow!! What a solid memory, how wonderful is that.. sounds like it’s similar situation today.. Supercars, helicopters .. yachts! Could watch the world go by and the characters arriving for hours!!! 😍 Have you been again since? I’d be interested to know if it’s changed much in terms of the city itself!
@@KristinasTravels No sadly not, I live in Australia now. I do get to travel a fair bit because I'm a motorcycle journalist, but unfortunately not to that region yet.
Oh yes, we were looking at that one too! But there were no spaces left.. I think we honestly got so lucky with this last spot! We were happy with anything with those winds arriving to be honest! 🥰🥰 Garavan also has a fuel dock too which would have been convenient! Thanks Antonio, so great to share this feedback with the community 🙌
I was at the Nice and Monaco beaches July 2000 (I Remember seeing the Concord disaster on TV) and it was not as expensive, obviously, but there was a fee to sit in the shade on the beach. Worth it because it was so scenic, aka there were a lot of women (French??) topless. 😉
This would be great, but you need to include the names of the places where you go to eat. Example. what is the name of the market for fruits and vegetables, as well as the name of the bakery? Where are they located in Menton? You need to give details.
All the names of these locations, I made sure to write up on the screen 😊 You can see each location and the restaurant, so you can write them down if you like or if you're visiting. I also made a bunch of Google Pins for all our Patreons as a way to say thank you for the extra support 😊
Hi lovely video but comming from Monaco just know that if you take the train from Monaco to Menton it will take only 10 min, and by car 20 min, take care
Thanks Kristina & John another really good video. Answer paying 40 Euro for beach club NO! ( is that per person?) AS you I have never heard of MENTON, France either. Beautiful scenic place. John I have seen Bluer water in the Caribbean. Yea the pebbled beaches reminds me of my wife's homeland Croatia and the Adriatic. Looking forward to your next video. Kristina hope you video the or some of the Golden Coast Boat Show. Later guys
I enjoy all the videos but it seems that every time they pull into port somewhere and Kristina and John leave the boat, Kelly’s always stuck behind or if they do go in town it always seems like they ditch her.
Totally see how this lands, but let me assure you, I spent the most time on the boat then all of us 🙃 Many many times Kelly and John ventured out into town together and I was on the boat needing to catch up on work. The only reason why you don’t see this is because Kelly and John don’t film their ventures 😅
@@KristinasTravels thanks for the response and for the clarification. Looking forward to watching more of your upcoming adventures and travels. Keep on sailing ⛵️. Also How do I become a Patreon member?
What a beautiful place, next to Monaco would be a lot of $ there, a bit of trivia for you, what country has the same flag as Monaco?, hint it’s near Oz
INDONESIAAAAA!!! But supposedly the flag dimensions are different?! I know this because an F1 driver from Monaco won at the Melbourne F1 this year.. and I noticed the flag they flew behind him was the Indonesian flag.. not (technically) Monaco!!!! 🤣

I enjoy all the videos but it seems that every time they pull into port somewhere and Kristina and John leave the boat, Kelly’s always stuck behind or if they do go in town it always seems like they ditch her.
Totally see how this lands, but let me assure you, I spent the most time on the boat then all of us 🙃 Many many times Kelly and John ventured out into town together and I was on the boat needing to catch up on work. The only reason why you don’t see this is because Kelly and John don’t film their ventures 😅
@@KristinasTravels thanks for the response and for the clarification. Looking forward to watching more of your upcoming adventures and travels. Keep on sailing ⛵️. Also How do I become a Patreon member?

Thank you Enrique! 🥰
Love you so much beautiful ❤
🥰❤️😅
Where did you get the money to buy the boat? Nice but costs a lot
We're lending it from Jeanneau Yachts :) Clarified this in our latest episode I uploaded last night, as we're still saving for our next boat :) x
please tell me what month were you there? shooting date
Thanks for watching this one! It was a blast and very rewarding getting out!
🌟🌟
What a beautiful place, next to Monaco would be a lot of $ there, a bit of trivia for you, what country has the same flag as Monaco?, hint it’s near Oz
INDONESIAAAAA!!! But supposedly the flag dimensions are different?! I know this because an F1 driver from Monaco won at the Melbourne F1 this year.. and I noticed the flag they flew behind him was the Indonesian flag.. not (technically) Monaco!!!! 🤣
does anyone know how much is their boat?
It’s about $1.3m USD from memory Vince!
@@KristinasTravels awesome. i think that's a great deal. how old is the boat?
🙏🏻...
is flying drone allowed in Menton or do you need any special permission?
Best just because used to be Italian.
💯🇨🇵
Thank you for watching!
As a Brazilian where ALL beaches are public, paying 40 Euros is OUTRAGES for me even to think about it
It’s wild isn’t it… it’s very foreign concept for us too! 😳😱😶🌫️
Nah to paying for the beach. Save your money for some more of the awesome cuisine
