La Salle des Mariages

Besides the murals all other decoration is also by the multitalented artist - red velvet chairs, metal lamps resembling flowers, leopard carpet and the obligatory Marianne in all French wedding halls, this one a young Brigitte Bardot reflecting endlessly on opposite mirrors. There is a taped English language introduction giving the basic facts, but the live French presentation every Thursday costing 4 euros has all the juicy parts. After redesigning the Mayors office in the building formerly functioning as a casino Cocteau was asked to do the wedding hall but refused instantly. He only changed his mind when his former lover, legally known as his adopted son fell in love with a woman and wanted to marry her. The characters in the murals depict all the strong feelings this caused.

"This place is temporarily closed."

A must stop for anyone visiting Me ton, especially if you enjoy visiting churches. I stopped in to St. Michel Basilica as I was passing by on a self guided walking tour. The resin anting church bells beckoned me, so I went in. It was a Sunday morning and although I could not understand very well, the language of the service the opening hymn was a familiar tune. It was a blessing to visit; such a beautiful church!

Marche des Halles de Menton

Reviewed By pehrolofb - Mariehamn, Finland

An excellent choice of service-points, ranging from fish and meat, to cheese, bakery-products etc, almost anything! The historical building is well maintained and, in a positive sense, offers an atmosphere of "old-times". Additionally you also have the opportunity to buy flowers, fruits outside.
