Garavan occupies the eastern end of Menton, between the sea and the hills, up to the Italian border. The district is organised around its marina and the Boulevard de Garavan, which runs along the heights in the shade of pepper trees and carob trees, with a view over the Mediterranean. It is the area of villas and gardens inherited from the Belle Époque, when Menton was a winter resort favoured by the European aristocracy.
The district owes its reputation to its remarkable botanical gardens: the Serre de la Madone, created by Major Lawrence Johnston over several hectares, listed as a Monument historique, the Val Rahmeh with its nearly 1 700 exotic species, and the Villa Maria Serena, renowned for one of the most temperate parks in France. Menton-Garavan station, on the Marseille-Vintimille TER line, serves the area directly and places the Italian border a few minutes away.
