  • Around the time of Carnival in February, Menton stages the spectacular Festival of the Lemon.

    In addition to various parades, the Jardin Boives is turned into a display of ...of ..of ... is there a word for "making something out of lemons? "Citrifications"? Whatever, each of the towns and villages nearby contributes a construction covered in lemons, and on this occasion oranges too, as the theme was dedicated to "Viva Espana"

    Each Sunday lemon floats parade along the Baie de Soleil, with musical groups and costumes, and the festival culminates in a spectacular firework display. Following which I would guess most of the residents have had it up to here with vitamin C and don't want to see another lemon for at least another year.

     "Le Karukera".. I know it well... I spent some weeks in Menton during the summer; when I discovered this place in Rue S.Michael..I just fell in love! There was a man and a young boy.. And they made delicious nutella crepes! *_* I miss them so much... :(((
