The municipality, in figures
The municipality
Menton is a small municipality measuring 5 by 7 kilometres. It has a coastline, and that matters: the strip of maritime-terrestrial public domain is governed by its own rule, different from that of the rest of the municipality. Within its boundaries there are 2 protected areas, including Vallée du Carei - collines de Castillon. There, the rules on permitted uses are set by each area's own plan. It borders 5 municipalities, and the answer may change on crossing any of those lines.

Protected-area designation: the rule of the protected area applies here in addition to the municipal one, and it usually makes the penalty harsher.

On the beach the answer is no even if the municipality is permissive: the prohibition is national and needs no sign.

Adjoining municipalities with their rule. This site does not say where other people have slept: that is a different product.
Signage on site and the local authority prevail. This reproduces the written rule as of the date indicated: it is neither legal advice nor an authorisation.
