Fête du Citron - waiting for the Corso
So, here we are - waiting for it all to begin. We don't have tickets for the tiered seating so we'll be standing by the side of the road. I warn you - we need protective clothing. We are likely to be sprayed with water, bubbles, foam, tons of that stuff that comes out of spray cans and forms long dangly coloured sticky stuff on our hair - and confetti - buckets of the stuff that will be shot at us out of cannons. Are you game for it? If so, come back tomorrow - the Corso begins!
And it's not only people who are waiting for the Corso - Canelle is waiting too. Click on the link to take a look.

Looks like its going to be fun. Even tiered seating, this is a big deal. cute doggie.
ReplyDeleteWell, Cannelle is absolutely gorgeous and as for those New York dogs - that must be some walker, to get them all to sit so still - he has eye contact with all of them. What was he holding, a pork chop or something? Now for me to get all of my cats to look at me, I'd have to be holding a mouse!
ReplyDeleteThat seems to be a big thing in Menton. I have never seen the corso. Canelle is a very pretty dog!
ReplyDeleteFascinating! I just looked at all your Fete du Citron photos and can't believe the amount of work that must go into the making of all the displays.
ReplyDeleteNo candies or beads? Well, I can tell we are not in Kansas, anymore ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'm not much one for parades, BUT this one I could really get into! It sounds wild!
ReplyDeleteI love your collages -- what a fun parade. I'd love to be there and get splattered with all that stuff. Even better with excited kids. :)
ReplyDeleteIt must be a very fun event. Looking forward to the photos of the parade.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like fun! Dangerous...but fun :-)
ReplyDeleteInteresting post. I see the paper hats are on some heads.
ReplyDeleteHang on I'll have to go home and change - I'm wearing white!!!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a wonderful, festive celebration.
ReplyDeleteI hope you were showered with all the confetti and sticky stuff. What fun !
