Basilica St. Michel - Menton, France


Menton is the best-kept secret in France. Where the upcoming Fête du citron (Lemon Festival) begins on
February 11, 2017.  With its incredible exterior, the bell-tower and the colored cobblestones
all arranged to form the Grimaldi’s coat of arms. Saint Michel is a jewel of baroque architecture.

Fabulous photos! What a lovely idea the Coexit Fountains are. Can dogs drink the water that collects at the bottom of the fountain or is that considered bad manners do you think?

I'm sure dogs do get a refreshing drink from the fountains.
