Yesterday was the inauguration of Menton's Fête du Citron (Lemon Festival), for which some 145 tons of lemons and oranges are brought in to town, to be attached to wire frames with half a million rubber bands.
This year's theme is Les Grandes Civilisations, as you can see on this panel above the gate to the Jardins Biovès, where the exposition des motifs d'agrumes (exhibition of citrus designs) is held every year.
