I have just jumped off the train after having spent a few hours wandering the gorgeous streets of Menton, a French town situated on the mediterranean and two steps from the Italian border. Its France and Italy all rolled into one, nothing not to like about that....
and it's made me feel moody and colourful....

| © Copyright Millie Brown 2012 Menton is famous for its sunshine....you see it hangs around and bathes the town in its golden rays for 316 days of the year, definitely my kind of place! |

All this sunshine means that lemons and other citrus fruit adore to grow here. The lemon happens to be the town's symbol and even has its own Adam and Eve legend attached to it. (read about it here).

.... and in honour of the wonderful lemon, Menton hosts its very own lemon festival each year in February.
