[samirbouag]

hy!!

i just wanna show you, some pics of a city who called Menton who is located in the extreme south east of france on the french riviera!(where i live) we've got a mediterranean climate and USDA zone 10 a.

it's a very good place to live,in just one hour we can skiing at isola 2000! and we've got more 300 days of sun by year!

in summer, a lot of tourist come from nowhere, go visiting the charm of the city, museum, beach, water sports, and the night , you can go to monaco, for have a good good night in night club with celebrities,casino,and for the lunch you can go in a good french restaurante, and discover the french gastronomie!

Samirbouag, Back in May, my wife and two of her close girlfriends(one whose worst half is a FM)traveled to Nice and explored the entirety of your incredible region for two weeks.They were amazed at the unbelievable beauty and how easy it was to encounter cosmopolitan areas and the ageless culture and then retreat in a matter of hours to areas of equal beauty in relative solitude.Their pictures and their stories verify that you live in one of the finest places on our globe.

In Florida at 26 North, I am continually stunned at the climate enjoyed at relatively high latitudes together with the outstanding array of virtually tropical Palms and vegetation easily flourishing in the south of France. All of that combined with the vistas of the Mediteranean,the fine and kind nature of the people and the ease in assess.Please realize you are very lucky.

I gave great consideration to reaching out to you during their trip. However,you are too handsome of a devil to be around these girls without appropriate chaperons.I am not worried about you but know these ladies would be throwing themselves at you.Please understand I say this with my inescapable sardonic nature(attempt at humor)that never translates well in the internet medium.Thank you.

Merci beaucoup, Samirbouag, pour nous montrer vos photos de palmiers extraordinaires à Menton. J'ai entendu parler du climat exceptionnel de cette ville, mais je n'avais jamais vu de photos come les tiens -- celles de Howea, Archontophoenix, Caryota, et Schefflera pueckleri, par exemple. L'on imagine que ces espèces de plantes poussent à Palermo ou à Malaga, mais pas si loin au nord du bassin de la Mer Mediterranee!

Est-il vrai que le climat de Menton est plus doux que ceux de Nice, Cannes, ou Saint-Tropez? L'age du Howea que vous avez montré doit être plus que trente ou quarante ans, témoin d'une durée longue entre les instances de temps de gel sévères, non?

bonjour!

oui le climat de menton est le plus doux de toute la cote d'azur!!

C'est du a la géographie de la ville car menton,monaco,nice, sont entouré par de hautes falaises de hautes montagnes (les alpes) qui bloque les embruns maritime sur ces villes!!

a menton il ne gèle jamais!

a nice il doit y avoir 5 jour de gèle par ans, mais très faible autour des o°C mais les température remonte a 15 16 17°C L'hiver!

et c'est comme ca sur une bonne partie de la cote!! nous pouvons cultivé des Archontophoenix , Caryota? jusqu'a cassis!

apres plus a ouest de la cote, le mistral souffle donc le nombre de palmier acclimatable aussi!!

voici un lien sur google maps ou nous pouvons voir un caryota chez une connaissance a toulon!

et la voici un lien sur un jardin a san remo qui est une ville a coté de menton!

voila ciao

POUR le fun some pics of saint tropez!

and here cannes!

and here giens:

and the sea is hot in summer! around 27°c

[samirbouag]

hello!

Yes, the climate of Menton is the sweetest of all the Riviera!

the cause is the geography of the city because Menton, Monaco, Nice, are surrounded by high cliffs and high mountains (the Alps), which blocks the sea spray on those cities!

at Menton, there is no frost!

Nice must have five days of frost per year, but very low around o C but the temperature rises to 15 16 17 ° C in winter!

and it's like that, over much of the coast! We can grow Archontophoenix, Caryota ect..

after in direction of the west coast, the mistral blow, so, the number of acclimatable palm tree is reduced!
