Swap crowded buses for the click of a Vespa on the Côte d'Azur. This Menton-based scooter rental puts Eze, Monaco and hidden coastal beaches within waistcoat-pocket reach—fast, flexible and unmistakably Mediterranean.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A salt breeze pushes itself over the handlebars as you ease a Vespa out of Menton's narrow streets and onto the coastal road. The Mediterranean glints to your right, cliffs and villages—Eze, Cap d'Ail, Roquebrune-Cap-Martin—rising like stacked postcards on your left. The scooter hums; the coast dares you to keep turning the throttle.
