Saint-Michel-Archange Basilica
Saint-Michel-Archange Basilica rises above Menton’s waterfront lanes, its baroque façade and broad stepped parvis forming a prominent arrival point in the old town.
Why go
The broad steps make the approach to Saint-Michel-Archange part of the experience, lifting its baroque façade above Menton’s waterfront lanes. From the parvis, the church reads as an anchor of the old town’s vertical layout. Its exterior setting offers a strong architectural visit in its own right, with the climb revealing how the town rises from the shore.
