Remembered all the lovely oranges and Lemons of the Lemon festival we visited in Menton...February last year saw us in Menton for the Lemon festival. Each year this is held with a different theme, any country can enter....this year it was Music of the world, and there was Tango, Argentina tango. rock and roll..jazz. the Charleston.,Waltz. Moulen rouge.just to name a few...we sat for an hour while all the floats passed by and also in a garden were about another twenty static displays...what a wonderful spectacle...

wow - this is gorgeous and impressive!!

reminds me of the Orange Bowl and Rose Bowl parades - they use their respective namesakes almost exclusively on the outside of the floasts
