Ruth photographing the old town from the beachfront boardwalk.

Lunch: a whole fish baked in foil with mussels, shrimp, and clams, plus grilled vegetables.

The old Bureau du Tourisme Italien kiosk by the railway bridge, a leftover from Menton’s history as the last French town before the Italian border.

A signpost pointing to the sights: Italy, the Hotel de Ville, the Musee de Prehistoire, and the autoroute to Nice and Genoa.
