The Lemon Festival in Menton
By JustCool on Feb 1, 2008 in Cool Pictures, Cool Travel
Sleepy Menton bursts out in a riot of colour for this huge citrus-scented celebration. Get your fix of vitamin C as you admire huge constructions made of fruit, which in 2008 (16 Feb - 5 Mar) are themed around "the islands of the world".
Fruity floats depicting everything from Buddhas to coconut groves, parade through the streets every Sunday during the festival, while after dark the Promenade du Soleil on the seafront transforms into a carnival for the Corsos Nocturnes (21 and 29 February).
Don’t miss a tour of the Jardins de Lumière after dark for a spellbinding, moonlit perspective (16, 23 and 23 February, 4 March).
A charming town full of mystery is located at the french-italian boarder right on the coast. Surrounded by mountains, Menton is protected from winds and benefits from a wonderful weather. See more cool pictures here.
