All Saints’ Day Holidays: A Gentle Pause on the French Riviera

Categories : Menton, published on : 9/17/25

The All Saints’ Day holidays, which take place between late October and early November, offer a wonderful opportunity to slow down and recharge during autumn. It’s a perfect time to reconnect with nature, enjoy traditions, and savor a quieter moment before winter arrives.

On November 1st, All Saints’ Day honors all saints, and the following day is dedicated to remembering the deceased. In France, it is common to visit cemeteries to lay chrysanthemums and reflect in a peaceful, respectful atmosphere.

For those who want to make the most of this period, a trip to Menton and the French Riviera is ideal. Thanks to its mild climate even in autumn, Menton offers a soothing setting between the sea and lush gardens like the famous Biovès Gardens. The region is full of charming villages and coastal trails perfect for peaceful walks where you can admire the beauty and serenity of the season.

Whether you choose to travel or stay at home, these holidays invite relaxation, reading, walks, and sharing warm moments with family—a true pause that gently prepares you for the coming winter.
