Sunset over Menton: Pastel Houses and Church

At sunset in Menton on the French Riviera, a coastal street scene bathed in warm golden light. A row of bright pastel houses—peach, pink, mint, and pale yellow—with shuttered windows and flower-filled balconies line a narrow cobblestone lane. A historic church with a stone façade and a tall bell tower stands at the end of the street, its silhouette glowing amber as the sun sinks. Beyond the rooftops, the blue Mediterranean sparkles. Details include wrought-iron balconies, tiled roofs, stone arches, and potted geraniums; laundry lines fluttering softly, a café table outside a shop, and a couple strolling along the street. The color palette is vibrant yet harmonious, with soft purples and pinks in the sky merging into warm oranges near the horizon. Render in photorealistic style with painterly texture, capturing sunlit stucco textures, sea spray, and long shadows that convey romantic, tranquil Mediterranean charm.
