Menton has a unique location in France: It is protected from the cold wind of the Alps (阿尔卑斯山脉) by its surrounding mountains. Therefore, it enjoys the warmest winter in the south of France and gets more than 300 days of sunshine per year. This explains why Menton is the only place in France to grow lemons. Organized by the Tourist Office of Menton (芒通旅游局), the Lemon Festival has taken place every year in the town since 1934. For each festival, people use 145 tons of lemons to decorate the town. The streets and squares are filled with huge constructions made of lemons, oranges and sometimes grapes. Different events are offered to no less than 230,000 visitors. People can join the Golden Fruit Parade each Sunday afternoon and watch colorful fruit floats (花车) move along the beach. Music and dance performances made by local people are another attraction during the three-week festival. This year, the festival is held from February 11 to March 1.
