Why stay in Menton
For this festival, staying in central Menton matters: evening walks, old-town access and a short return after concerts are part of the experience.
How to get there
Plan around evening finishes, old-town steps and any local access changes once the official programme is published.
How to plan your stay
Use this page to plan apartment fit and timing, then confirm exact concert dates and ticketing on the official festival website.
Why it matters
Keeps a high-intent Menton cultural event visible for planning without presenting an ended edition as current.
The Menton Music Festival is one of France's oldest classical music festivals, created in 1950, with evening open-air concerts by the Basilique Saint-Michel and chamber performances in historic venues.
It usually runs across late July and early August, with the most atmospheric evenings centred on the Parvis de la Basilique Saint-Michel and selected concerts in other heritage venues. The mood is very Riviera: sunset, sea air, a lit baroque facade and an audience of music lovers and curious travellers.

Official links, tickets and prices
Tickets are sold online on the festival website and via the Menton tourist office at Palais de l'Europe.
Prices vary by concert, venue and seat category, so check the official programme before booking around a specific evening.
Practical tips
- Book major evenings early, especially opening nights or famous soloists.
- The Parvis Saint-Michel involves old-town steps; wear comfortable shoes or choose Palais de l'Europe concerts if stairs are difficult.
- Even after a hot day, sea breeze can make evenings cool. Bring a light jacket or shawl.
