 When Life Gives You Lemons... |

Sleepy Menton is the sunniest town in the whole of France and grows the most lemons in the entire nation. The fruit is celebrated with a yearly festival every February. Many of the events are free, including a firework display and a carnival through Menton's streets. Entrance to some events, such as the orchid display are from EUR9. You can reserve tickets from the festival's website or by telephone. Menton is the last stop on the pretty Cote d'Azur line before the Italian border, about 30 minutes from Nice. See the website for further details. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Midsummer festivities |
Petit Port de Carras Bld. Industriel Nice 6000 France |
As night finally begins to fall on the longest day of the year, Nice's torchlight procession begins. Wood fires are lit on the beach, according to the St. John's day tradition, creating an altogether magical scene. Various activities are on offer: folk dances, kids' shows, and food stalls of local specialties to celebrate the summer solstice. With full support from the city, the business and artisan sectors of the Californie district invested in the organisation of this annual festival evening, creating free attractions for all.
