When exploring the Côte d’Azure, make sure not to miss out on Menton. A lemon-scented town in the South of France. This is one of the last stops before arriving in Italy which explains its pastel colors. Enjoy the lovely beaches and make sure to visit one of the lemon gardens. There is a lemon festival held at the end of each winter (mid February – early March).
