78th Fete du Citron - the Hanging Gardens of Babylon
When you walk into the Jardin Bioves the first display you see is the Roman Atrium which leads into the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. Suddenly you are in another world, albeit made of lemons and oranges.

Lorsque vous entrez dans le Jardin Biovès le premier motif que vous voyez est l'atrium romain qui mène dans les jardins suspendus de Babylone. Tout à coup, vous êtes dans un autre monde, lequel est fait de citrons et d'oranges.
I like the main photo!
ReplyDelete2 kinds of art! Next time I must look for that extraordinary fountain. The birds maybe are cranes?
They are returnung from warm south now. Suddenly you hear the gabble and there they are, flying in a shape like "1".

They really made great and tall things this year!
ReplyDeleteThe top image is a keeper, Jilly! The fountain's spray against the citrus is engaging!
ReplyDeleteThoroughly enjoying your series of festival photos. I have been to Menton twice and in fact stayed there once. Now I want to come back in March! Is the festival the same time each year?
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone, and yes, Elizabeth, this festival is always on in February/March. You can check it out on the Menton tourism website. Link on my blog on the right.
