Menton, the jewel of the French Riviera, is preparing to host a new edition of the Lemon Festival, one of the most unique and fascinating events in southern France. Following the success and enthusiasm of previous editions, the city will once again be transformed into a vibrant spectacle of yellow and orange, welcoming visitors from around the world to admire giant citrus sculptures, spectacular decorations and artistic creations that will turn the Biovès Gardens and the town centre into a magical universe.
The 2027 edition will take place from 13 to 28 February and will be dedicated to the theme “Douce France”, a tribute to French beauty, culture and identity. This theme will inspire monumental creations made with thousands of lemons and oranges, highlighting landscapes, traditions and iconic symbols of France through the imagination of the festival’s artists.
For more than two weeks, the famous Corsos des fruits d’or and night parades will bring the streets of Menton to life with citrus-covered floats, music and spectacular performances. Visitors will also have the opportunity to discover the citrus displays in the Biovès Gardens, explore the craft market and visit the Orchid Exhibition and Winter Garden, creating an unforgettable experience combining creativity, fragrances and tradition.
To enjoy the event at its very best, Hôtel de Londres*** is the perfect place to stay. Ideally located close to the Biovès Gardens, the hotel offers easy access to the heart of the Festival while providing a peaceful and elegant atmosphere. With its refined style, warm hospitality and comfortable setting, it is the ideal base for discovering Menton during the most colourful and spectacular time of the year.
