Serre de la Madone

Serre de la Madone is a remarkable hillside garden in Menton, created in the 1920s by British gardener Lawrence Johnston. Known for its rare plants, shaded paths, water features, and carefully composed views, it offers a quieter, more contemplative alternative to the Riviera’s beaches and promenades. Visitors interested in garden design, botany, or historic landscapes will find it especially rewarding. Its setting above Menton also adds a sense of seclusion, making it a good choice for those seeking a peaceful cultural stop.
