dal sito della manifestazione:
" La fete du citron - quest'anno 20.000 leghe sotto i mari - evento unico al mondo attrae ogni anno più di 200.000 visitatori ed è in costante crescita.
E' la seconda manifestazione in francia dopo il carnevale di Nizza , e, prima del Gran Prix di formula uno di Monaco.
L'evento da' lavoro a 300 professionisti,usa 13o tonnellate di agrumi altrimenti non vendibili per qualità.
fresh squares and narrow streets cascading toward the sea: the historic heart of the city beats behind the ocher facades, shutters dimming light, preserving the privacy of homes assaults of the sun.
We cross the history at the foot of the bell glazed tiles.
Baroque art has created a remarkable ensemble: the square of the Basilica and Saint-Michel, a few steps higher, the White Penitents chapel.
At the top of the hill, the cemetery of Old Castle, last resort for Russian and British aristocrats, offers an unrivaled view of the city, the sea and the mountains of Italy.
