Menton Lemon Festival

Menton is a charming Riviera resort lying between Monaco and the Italian border. Thanks to its micro-climate the town is a major producer of lemons and comes to life in mid February for a month when the annual Lemon festival takes place.

Throughout the festival the streets and squares are filled with huge constructions made of oranges and lemons. It’s like a carnival, with processions of floats, gardens of lights and the exhibition of giant citrus celebrating the wealth and reputation of Menton.
