Cimetiere du Trabuquet is a quaint cemetery over the higher lands of Garavan. The graves are lined with brick mortars and styled in classical English style. The site is a vantage point for artists, journalists and landscape photographers. It gives a stunning view of the vast sea expanse on one side and numerous memorial statues of cemetery on the other.

One of the most laid back places in Menton, the Cimetiere du Trabuquet is the resting place for many British natives. Young artist, Aubrey Beardsley who died in 1898 at the age of 25 is one of them. Statues and flower pots linking the uphill route portrays a vintage look, unlike any other site in the French Riviera.
