Menton lemon festival

It started looking like being a lemon... 
Saturday, I helped Hugues sand, and then PF3 coat the walls of his new place, while Marie went mad with the kids.


Then Sunday was the Fete de Citron at Menton. There's two parts: the garden and the street parade. The garden looks to be the better of the two, with it's elaborate displays. It's 10 for each one, and we went for the street parade. The parade is just like Carnivale in Nice, but a bit smaller, and with lots of oranges and lemons.



But then we got a bit closer..
At the start we didn't see much, with the large crowd in front. Suddenly everyone started to leave. The parade continued, the boys picked up some handfuls of confetti, we got a view, and things got much more fun.


And all the performers were super nice.

Like you're the only one there.

Heaps of t and a, only one photo, and by Marie.

Personal confetti shower.

Closer to the floats.

Distant yet approachable.
