Festival: Fete du Citron

Where It Is: 
Menton, France

When To Go: 
During Mardi Gras season, usually late January – mid March.

How To Get There:
From Nice, take a local train.  Runs frequently.  Duration: 30minutes


Fete du Citron, or Lemon Festival, takes place annually at around the same time as Carnaval in Nice. On certain days there is a parade and when there isn’t, the floats designed in images with whole lemons and oranges sit in a garden for all to pay 9EUR admission to peruse and admire. At night, you can pay 10EUR to see the floats lit up and listen to live music. This year’s theme was “Islands”.










Does this look like a finger to anyone else?
