This year’s theme – The Olympic Games From Antiquity to the Present Day – takes its cue from the Olympic Games in Paris.
The small town of Menton on the French Riviera hosts one of France’s most beloved events: the Lemon Festival. Each year the event attracts more than 200,000 visitors who come to marvel at the citrus floats paraded through the corsos alongside shows, concerts and street entertainment. This year’s theme – The Olympic Games From Antiquity to the Present Day – takes its cue from the Olympic Games in Paris. It’s also a chance to check out the exhibition of citrus patterns in the Biovès gardens and the Festival of Orchids.
