Why it matters

Perfect for music lovers who want a calm seaside base in Menton and refined evening concerts in Monaco.

Monte-Carlo Jazz Festival is one of the Riviera's most prestigious late-autumn music events, bringing international jazz, soul and related artists to Monaco in an intimate concert format.

For Menton guests, it works especially well as an elegant evening plan: stay by the sea, keep daytime slow and bright, then travel to Monaco for selected concerts.

How to plan your stay

Stay in Menton for quieter mornings by the sea, then take the train to Monaco for selected festival evenings.

Practical notes

Details to verify

Where it happens

  • Main venue information should be checked on the official Monte-Carlo SBM page. Recent editions have used the Opéra Garnier Monte-Carlo / Salle Garnier setting.
  • From Menton, Monaco-Monte-Carlo station is usually about 15 minutes by train. By car, allow about 25 minutes in normal traffic, plus parking and event access time.

With children

Mostly adults. Teenagers who genuinely enjoy live music may like selected concerts, but late timings, formal venues and ticket prices make it less suitable for small children.

Official links, tickets and prices

Check the official Monte-Carlo SBM page for the final programme, venue, ticket categories and prices. Line-up and access rules can change by edition.

Practical tips

  • Choose concert nights before requesting accommodation dates if a specific artist matters to you.
  • For late returns to Menton, check evening train times or arrange a transfer before going to Monaco.
  • Late November and early December evenings can feel cool by the sea; bring a jacket for the return.
