Fête du Citron: Cinema - the Children


Our last day at the Fête du Citron. The kids, even those in the audience, are part of the parade. They dress up and have a wonderful time. The little girl in the last shot really is part of the parade of course.

Thanks so much to everyone who has come along for the ride. At the moment, I don't ever want to see another lemon or orange but doubtless I'll get over it.

Tomorrow - pastures new...

  4. Great kids portraits Jilly!

    If you're fed up with oranges and lemons, I'm getting to the same stage with snow here. How can I come up with new and interesting shots?

  5. Well if that first shot on Avignon today is anything to go by, you've not run out of interesting shots. It's glorious, Nathalie.

  6. I agree, wonderful portraits here, Jilly. That's a "fête" for kids, and for those who are child at heart.

  7. We will all look forward to next year and your wonderful documentation of the fete. And maybe now my craving for oranges will subside a bit.

  10. Great pics. I am just wondering what happens to all of the citrons after the festival?

  11. Phelps5, any oranges or lemons that are not damaged are sold off outside the Jardin Bioves and used to make jams, wine and liqueurs.
