Menton is a small town between Monaco and the Italian border and an impressive team of over 300 people work to make this event happen, using 140 tonnes of fruit. The streets and the Jardins Biovès, turn into a giant citrus wonderland, with creations up to 10 metres high.
Lemons have been growing here for centuries as there is a perfect micro-climate. This year is the 81st festival and the theme is '20,000 Leagues under the Sea'.
