Where the French Riviera ends and Italy begins. The old town climbs the hill in ochre and rose and pale lemon — Italianate facades stacked tight against narrow streets, the colour washed by Ligurian light. The Basilique Saint-Michel sits at the top of a wide flight of pebble-mosaic steps. Menton has more than 300 days of sun a year, the warmest microclimate on the French coast. Most travellers pass through on the train to Ventimiglia. The ones who stop walk up to the cemetery above the cathedral and look back down at the colour.

Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
