Why FM changes so much in Menton

Menton receives signals between sea, mountains and three country borders. Reception can differ between seafront, old town, Garavan, roads and even floor levels. Start with a few practical stations first, then switch to mobile streams if FM is unstable.

  • Best preset for driving: Radio VINCI Autoroutes 107.7 then France Info or Riviera Radio.
  • For English speakers: Riviera Radio 106.5.
  • For Monaco mood: Radio Monaco 95.4 and related Monaco channels.
