Airport: Nice, France (~30 min drive to Menton) The cheapest transportation option is the bus - there is one every hour from the Nice airport to the Casino in Menton (~15 euros). Ubers (~50-70 euros) and taxis (~110 euros) are available at the airport. There is an option to take a train from the Nice airport to Menton, but requires taking a bus or walking 15 min to the station (~15 euros). There is a van option that goes directly to your hotel/apartment. To arrange, send an email to info@ast-microbus.fr 2 weeks before your trip with your flight info, destination and # of people. They will confirm pricing in euros when you book, and meet you outside baggage claim with a sign when you arrive (*Note: this is cheaper than a taxi). For a private car, reference the FAQ page to arrange with Karte Blanche (~115-145 euros depending on size of car) *PLEASE NOTE: We recommend making arrangements for a return to the Nice airport before your arrival, as options from Menton are more limited.

Travel Note

Airbnb + VRBO

Menton has several beautiful Airbnb and VRBO rentals available. If you decide to go this route, we recommend choosing one within walking distance to the center of town, as taxi service is limited, can be unreliable and take a long time (unless you choose to reserve a car service in advance). Uber is still fairly new to the area, so there are not always cars available. Feel free to reach out to Julia and Drew who can help advise if your Airbnb/VRBO is in a good location!
