门顿位于法国里维埃拉的东端,靠近意大利边境,被昵称为“法国之珠”。它以美丽和令人难以置信的天气而闻名,平均每年有316天的阳光。这有助于曼顿种植令人惊叹的柠檬作物,在一年一度的柠檬节上庆祝。今年2月,这场为期17天的盛会以柠檬和橘子制作的花车和雕塑为特色。超过20万名游客惊叹于节日期间使用的近150吨水果。

Perched at the eastern end of the French Riviera near the Italian border is Menton, nicknamed the Pearl of France. It’s prized for its beauty and incredible weather, with an average of 316 days a year of sunshine. That helps Menton to grow amazing lemon crops which are celebrated at the annual Fête du Citron, or Menton Lemon Festival. This 17-day extravaganza in February features floats and sculptures created out of lemons and oranges. More than 200,000 visitors marvel at the nearly 150 tonnes of fruit used in the festival.
