Fort du Cap Martin
Highlight • Historical Site
Damaged by Italian bombings in 1940, then abandoned, looted and degraded, the 2,400m2 of this military structure have been almost entirely restored by volunteers from the association since 1997.

Menton Town Hall
Highlight • Monument
1. **Architecture and Location**:
The building, known as the *Hôtel de Ville*, was completed in 1901 in a typical Belle Époque style, which is common in this region of France. The building reflects the grandeur of that time with decorative facades and elegant ornaments. The location of the town hall is special, because Menton itself is on the Italian border and shows a mix of French and Italian influences in its architecture.
2. **The Salle des Mariages**:
One of the most remarkable parts of the town hall is the "Salle des Mariages" (Wedding Hall). This hall was decorated in 1957 by the famous French artist *Jean Cocteau*, who himself had a special connection with Menton. Cocteau’s murals are colourful and have a mythical and romantic feel, making the venue particularly popular with couples who want to get married. The paintings depict symbolic images, such as Cupid, the guardian angel of love.
3. **Jean Cocteau’s legacy**:
Jean Cocteau had a profound artistic influence on Menton, not only in the Town Hall, but also in other parts of the city, such as the Jean Cocteau Museum. However, his decorations in the Town Hall are among his most personal and iconic works, making it an important cultural monument.
4. **Historical Interest**:
Menton’s Town Hall plays a crucial role in the history of the city, which was strategically important due to its location between France and Italy. Menton once belonged to the principality of Monaco, but eventually became a French city in 1861. This historical context contributes to the unique charm of the Town Hall and the city itself.
The Menton Town Hall thus combines both artistic and historical value and is a symbol of the cultural wealth of this border town.
