| Transition into the better: case studies for the spring festival 14 Dec 2012 La Fete Citron –Golden fruit Festival | |||
| Sleepy Menton bursts into a riot of colour for this huge citrus-scented celebration. Get your fix of vitamin C as huge constructions made of oranges and lemons sway through the streets every year at the Menton Golden Festival. Fruity floats depicting everything from Buddhas to coconut groves glide through the neck-craning crowd down the Promenade du Soleil for Sunday's Parade of Golden Fruit and the eerie Thursday evening Moonlit Parade. The Gardens of Light in the Jardins Biovès is a spectacular sound and light show that dances around the orange and lemon statues every Tuesday and Friday evening; and the permanent Citrus Exhibition in the same place is a tour around the cultures of the world through the fantastical fruit statues. |
