Fodor's Expert Review Menton Lemon Festival

The French Riviera Festivals

Running 15 days in February through the first week of March, this full-blown lemon love-in features 140 tons of the citrus fruit on floats during daily parades and in gardens, which are lit up at night as part of the Les Jardins de Lumières (tickets are needed for both). Think of this as France's answer to the Rose Bowl Parade.
