As Easter approaches across Europe, the French Riviera echoes with vibrant Carnival celebrations that showcase the rich cultural heritage and creativity of the region. In the picturesque town of Menton, nestled along the Mediterranean coast, the Lemon Festival, or 'Fête du Citron,' dazzled spectators with its 90th edition honoring the upcoming Olympics in Paris.
Adorned with sculptures of athletes made from lemons and oranges, the Carnival parade in Menton paid tribute to sportsmanship, art, and music. From a boxer to a surfer named John Lemon, the floats brought to life the theme of 'From Olympia to Menton,' merging ancient athletic traditions with contemporary sports.
