Jardins Biovès, Public garden in Menton, France.
The Jardins Biovès extends over an 800-meter flower path featuring numerous exotic plants, fountains, sculptures, and carefully maintained green spaces.
The gardens received their name from Emile Biovès, who served as the mayor of Menton and contributed to the development of the city during the 19th century.
The gardens transform into an open-air exhibition space during the annual Lemon Festival in February, displaying large structures made entirely from citrus fruits.
Located opposite the tourist office and near the casino, the gardens provide multiple benches throughout the grounds and remain accessible throughout all seasons.
The gardens' specific microclimate enables the cultivation of diverse plant species that normally do not grow in other parts of France.

Menton occupies a notable position on the French Riviera, a few kilometers from the Italian border, where the Maritime Alps descend into the Mediterranean Sea. This unique geographical location has shaped a town with a dual character, where French and Italian architectural influences blend naturally. Visitors can explore botanical gardens like Val Rahmeh and Serre de la Madone, religious sites such as the Basilica of Saint Michael Archangel and the Chapel of the White Penitents, as well as museums dedicated to art and local history. The waterfront is organized around the Menton Garavan Port, beaches, and the Promenade du Soleil which runs along the coast. Cultural heritage can be found particularly at the Jean Cocteau Museum Collection Séverin Wunderman, housed in a modern building by the water, and at the Palais Carnolès, a former summer residence of Monaco’s princes transformed into an art museum. The Halles Market offers regional products and local specialties each morning, while the Old Castle Cemetery perched on the heights provides an expansive view of the bay and reflects the city’s history through its 19th-century funerary monuments.
