Menton is the lowest level of administrative division in the French Republic located on the Franco-Italian border, within the confines of the Côte d’Azur and the Ligurian Alps. It is well known for its warm micro-climate favorable to lemon, tangerine, and orange groves.

It was pretty popular for its Menton’s February Festival which initially started at the end of the 19th century. People still find it very exciting and fun. The festival is enjoyed for three whole weeks along with a daily Citrus Exposition, parades on Sundays,Corsos Nocturnes with fireworks on Thursday nights, and Jardins de lumières on Fridays.
