  The departed enjoy the best view of all
by NiceLife
 
 

On four levels explore the mixed history of the good and great that lived and came to die in Menton. Russian princes, Italian grand families, retired vicars and civil servants from Victorian England. Among the headstones here is that of Aubrey Beardsley and William Ellis, supposed founder of rubgy.

Fabulous view out over the Baie de Garavan towards Italy, only a kilomtre away.

There are Commonwealth military cemetaries dedicated to French forces climbing futher up the hill, but which offer little of interest as much as these.

Review Helpfulness: 4.5 out of 5 stars
