What monuments can you see on the Foliove Menton poster?

The poster illustrates Menton seen from its seafront, the old town rising in tiers of ochre, pink and pastel houses above the Mediterranean. Crowning the skyline are its two great baroque monuments — the Basilica of Saint-Michel-Archange with its tall bell tower, and, beside it, the Chapel of the White Penitents (Chapelle de l'Immaculée-Conception) — while the beach and shoreline stretch below. Hand-drawn by Marie Troff in a warm, graphic travel-poster style, it captures the golden light and colours that make Menton instantly recognisable.

Where is Menton located?

Menton is a town on the French Riviera (Côte d'Azur), in the Alpes-Maritimes, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region, right on the border with Italy and just east of Monaco. Sheltered by its mountains, it enjoys one of the mildest, sunniest climates in France.

Why is Menton worth a poster of its own?

Nicknamed the "Pearl of France," Menton is famous for its Italianate old town, its exceptional light, its gardens and its lemons, celebrated each winter at the spectacular Fête du Citron. Its colourful seafront, crowned by the Basilica of Saint-Michel, is one of the most photographed views on the whole Riviera.

What is the Basilica of Saint-Michel-Archange shown on the poster?

The Basilica of Saint-Michel-Archange is Menton's landmark monument, a 17th-century baroque church perched above the old town. Its ornate façade and soaring bell tower dominate the skyline and overlook a parvis paved with a mosaic of the Grimaldi coat of arms, with sweeping views over the sea.

Is this Menton poster a photograph?

No. It is an original illustration, hand-drawn on a graphics tablet by Marie Troff. The lines and colours reinterpret the town in a poetic, graphic style rather than reproducing a photo.

What sizes and paper is the poster available in?

It comes in several formats, from A4 (21 × 29.7 cm) on 200 gsm glossy photo paper to larger sizes such as A3 (30 × 42 cm) and B2 (50 × 70 cm) on 170 gsm matt coated fine-art paper. Every poster is printed in the south of France at an Imprim'Vert-certified printer and shipped rolled in a recycled cardboard tube.

This Menton poster is an original illustration of the last French town before Italy. The ochre and pink façades of the old town rise in terraces up to the Basilica of Saint Michael the Archangel. Lemon trees spill over the terraces. And the light has that very particular quality found in towns that look out over the sea from their hilltop.

With its warm, luminous colors, it captures the Franco-Italian blend that gives the Côte d’Azur all its charm at its eastern tip. A travel poster for those who have wandered around the Old Port. Or who already have Menton on their list of cities to visit.

Your vintage Menton poster

Hanging on the wall, this art poster warms up a room. It instantly gives it character. Available from A4 to very large formats, it works just as well in an entryway as on a living room wall.

The illustrated style gives Menton the timeless appeal of a vintage travel poster, somewhere between a souvenir and a signed art print. A perfect gift for those who keep Menton in a corner of their hearts.

Made in France, in a limited edition

Marie Troff illustrated Menton from her studio in the Pyrénées-Orientales. The poster is printed in Elne, on an Imprim'Vert-certified press, on 170 g/m² matte art paper. Carefully shipped rolled, without a frame, as a numbered and signed limited edition ©Foliove. This Menton print joins the Foliove collection, easy to pair with another Côte d’Azur poster to create a sunny gallery wall.

Season after season, this Menton poster retains the same luminous presence on a wall, in summer and winter alike.

You recognize Menton at first glance, the town highlighted by a graphic composition and carefully worked areas of flat color. Giving this print means giving someone with roots or memories there a piece of Menton.

The ochres, terracotta, and pale stone of this Menton art print fit just as well into a coastal decor as they do into a contemporary interior. It is available in several formats, from the discreet A4 to a commanding large format. It works above a sofa, bed, or desk, and complements natural materials: light wood, linen, and rattan.

Rather than a photograph, it offers a refined illustration that preserves the essentials: the old town, the atmosphere, and the memory of the place.

About Menton

In Marie's studio, in Saint-Genis-des-Fontaines

How I design each poster, by hand, in the Pyrénées-Orientales

Foliove is my daily work. I create each illustration by hand, from my studio nestled in the Pyrénées-Orientales. Wacom, stylus, patience. No digital shortcuts, no images found anywhere other than in my souvenir photos, no effects applied with a click. Each line is consciously drawn, starting from a blank screen.

Printing is done nearby, at an Imprim'Vert certified printer in Elne. This is no accident: I can check the colors in person, adjust if necessary, and discuss directly with the team. They prioritize solvent-free inks and certified paper. It's a relationship, not just an order.

My subjects are born from my travels. A shade of the sky, a detail of a facade, a season frozen in an instant. I transpose them into a drawing once I return, often much later. It's my way of preserving these moments and offering them to those, like you, who look at them.
