Holiday festivalPhoto:DreamstimeThe city of Menton is located on the French Riviera and is famous for its mild climate. It is here that the famous festival takes place at the end of February each year, which is visited by hundreds of thousands of people from all over the world. Menton lemons are considered the best: thanks to the fertile soil and careful care, the harvest is collected here all year round. The richest harvest is collected in March-April, and the festival itself has become a symbol of the beginning of the most fruitful season. During the entire festival, a real "citrus madness" reigns in the city. Hundreds of tons of lemons and oranges are used to create grandiose compositions, installations and sculptures. A festive procession takes place in the city, led by the smallest residents of Menton: dressed in colorful costumes, they present thematic scenes from the life of the country. Giant platforms loaded with the best citrus fruits are carried through the streets of the city. The festival is accompanied by famous musical groups in France. In the evening, the city is immersed in the lights of fireworks and lanterns, also made of lemons and oranges. The festival is also rich in treats. Local chefs can prepare hundreds of lemon dishes, each with a unique taste.
