The sunny town of Menton, perched on France's Mediterranean coast, is the scene each year of a flamboyantly fruity celebration: the Fête des Citrons. This colorful event attracts thousands of visitors from all over the world, eager to immerse themselves in a dazzling universe of bright colors and intoxicating aromas.

History and tradition :

The Lemon Festival has its origins in the early 20th century, when the Menton region was already renowned for its citrus fruit. The idea of celebrating this emblematic fruit was born to showcase local production and promote the region's lemon industry. Since then, the event has become an integral part of the town's cultural fabric.

A Festival of Creativity and Color:

At the heart of this festival, monumental floats and giant sculptures, all made from citrus fruit, come to life. Tons of oranges and lemons are used to create these ephemeral works of art, competing in ingenuity and creativity. Each year, a different theme inspires the design of the sculptures, offering a renewed experience with each edition.

Lemon Parade:

The highlight of this celebration is the parade of decorated floats. These citrus colossi, often accompanied by musicians and dancers, roam the streets of Menton before the amazed eyes of spectators. Intoxicating music, shimmering costumes and the intoxicating aroma of lemons create an electrifying and memorable atmosphere.

Cultural and gastronomic events:

Alongside the main parade, the Lemon Festival also features concerts, exhibitions, tastings and markets where visitors can enjoy a wide variety of citrus dishes and drinks. Culinary demonstrations featuring local lemons in all their forms are also organized, offering visitors a taste of the region's gastronomic delights.

Impact and significance:

Beyond its tourist appeal, the Lemon Festival is an economically beneficial event for Menton and its inhabitants. It strengthens the local economy by attracting visitors from all over the world, while preserving and promoting the region's agricultural heritage.
