Oranges, grapefruits, tangerines, lemons and limes have for some time now been at a great price in the French city of Menton. After all, there is a big holiday there from mid-February to early March: a festival called Citron … This is a real paradise for all citrus and vitamin C lovers! The Citron Festival takes place in France every year, and next year Menton will host its 80th Citrus Festival, and, as always, on a grand scale. It is curious what the organizers of the festival will come up with for the anniversary, if more than 200 thousand people came and came to the 79th festival, and how many kilograms of orange, tangerine, lemons and grapefruit were used to create the appropriate entourage is hard to imagine.
So, every year on the streets, squares and city squares, huge houses, towers, castles and sculptures made entirely of oranges and lemons are erected for the holiday. Enthusiasts lay out funny slogans from citrus fruits, make figures of cartoon characters, in general, frolic with all their hearts. Probably, the smell over the square is such that the New Year mood immediately arises, which means that a person subconsciously prepares for the holiday and fun. This is probably why the Citron festival is called one of the most positive and joyful events of the year.
Citrus lovers come to France from all over the world. This year the festival started on February 17 and will end by March 8.
