Fête du Citron - shopping!
And so, we've visited the Fête du Citron - so what can we buy to take home? Well, unsurprisingly, all thing citrus - orange and lemon trees, mimosa trees, fridge magnets, postcards, conserves, lemon olive oil, citrus liqueurs - in particular, the delicious Limoncello - and of course - lemons and oranges. Thanks for visiting the festival with me. Come back again next year and we'll do it all over again but with a different theme.
Tomorrow, we'll pop across the road to the Palais de l'Europe where we'll pay a quick visit to the exhibition of orchids.

I have some of that delicious Lemoncello and some Orangecello in my home right now. Every now and again I take a little sip of one or the other and dream of Provence.
ReplyDeleteThis lemon series is lovely! That big boat is awesome, there is one in the Philippines like this but with flowers....I bet it really smells so nice there!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your tour of the Fete du Citron! Atlantic City is a town on the ocean (we call it the shore) in New Jersey. Many years ago, in their effort to expand the summer season, they created The Miss America Pageant which still exists today, but is no longer held in Atlantic City. And I will refrain from any comparison of parading lemons to parading women! Or, should I say "Fete-ing" lemons and "Fete-ing" women!
ReplyDeleteOrchids??? OMG! I'll be here tomorrow, oh yes. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the lovely Fête du Citron tour. What a great job you've done. I've enjoyed it immensely. :)
Limoncello is a winner every time. I can hardly wait to go to Sorrento in April to replenish last year's supply. :) Thanks for the great photos.
ReplyDeleteI've never had limoncello. I'll buy some of the fruit and make marmelade, mmmmm ! I have a fantastic recipe from Sicily for making lemon marmelade...
ReplyDeletePerhaps Nathalie could be persuaded to share her marmalade recipe???
ReplyDeleteEverything is so beautifully and colourfully presented Jilly. Sadly, I can't eat citrus raw - it's too acidic for me, but I love marmalade!
Ah, the limoncello ... fresh ... yummie ...
ReplyDeleteIt was such fun Jilly, thanks for the great visit - but I may not eat an orange for awhile!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis all sounds so refreshing. I love lemon-lime products!
ReplyDeleteI wonder how they would have portrayed "Islands of the Caribbean"?
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed last year's and this year's festival greatly, Jilly. If there is a next year I sure would love to come along with you virtually again! :-)
MMMMMMMmmmmmmmm what a nice set of photos!
ReplyDeleteNow I'm craving a really good tard lemonade.
