Menton uses 140 tonnes of lemons, oranges and grapefruits to hold the event, which has been running since 1928. /VCG Photo

The town on the French Riviera is one of the world’s key citrus producers, and until the 1930s, Menton was Europe’s largest lemon producer. /VCG Photo

Year-round warmth and the town’s proximity to the Maritime Alps mountain range, which acts as a protective barrier from the cold winter winds, are Manton’s recipe for success in growing lemon. /VCG Photo
