    This is my most favourite place of all time, my late father discovered it in the 70s and has been our family holiday destinations over the years, recently my son and i travelled back there where our happy memories lie and plan to vias often as possible ❤

      Have you lost your Drone yet? Your vlogs are so fabulous now. The pictures are 💯 percent better with your camera 😁👍👌!!!! Paul was really funny, about wanting food. Like when we where little kids on trips,we always ask( are we there yet?)
      Here Pasadena,you don't get the same view,that you've experienced in France. They have more richer traditions. Lad back in some places. The Church's are so elegant, I bet!!!When lived in Italy, Church's where probably most visited more than anything else. I been to Rome,Venice, Trieste where my Mother was born,and we lived in Rimini AFB. for 4-5 year's. Once I again enjoyed Menton very much,thank you Sam n Paul. Oh, say hi to Paul for me!!!

    Ah la jolie ville de Menton , d'ailleurs de quel menton parle-t-on ?
    Celui couvert de bave quand les gens voient toutes les bonnes choses qu'on peut faire avec du citron et autres agrumes ?
    Celui des gens qui s'allonge quand ils voient le bleu de la Méditéranée en bordure de la ville ?
    Celui des hommes et des femmes du coin qui soit disant ont les plus jolis de la nation ?
    Toujours est-il Menton est une superbe ville.
    Je suis d'ailleurs surpris que vous n'ayez pas trouvé le restaurant qui sert des plats pleins de piments ^^
    La cuisine servie chez "Edwige Coffee" rapelle UN PEU la cuisine mexicaine, mais uniquement végétalienne , bref la dernière fois que j'y suis allé c'était très épicé la carte est complètement végétalienne c'était très bon et pas cher, c'est pas de la cuisine mexicaine a proprement parler mais y a quand même une influence visible.
