Guess where the Orange Country? In the town of Menton. Here the sea of oranges and lemons, mandarin trees everywhere, even on the balcony of an old house! And here again the sea, you can see a turtle or a squid of oranges, "crab" funny baby in height with a one-storey house and even a yellow submarine!
I do not know whether heard in France, the Soviet song where - remember? - All the "orange sing!" But this is the reality on the French Riviera, in Menton. It is famous for its original festival on the planet, on the streets of thousands of tourists from different countries! funny baby Every year - new themes, new sculptures are already 81 (!!!) years. This year opened February 15 and continues until March 5. Yes, the festival still going! If you are in France or in Italy now, come! This tangerine miracle worth it! When I saw the photo of citric pyramid, I madly wanted to see everything live. Instead of the pyramids in this February - the underwater world, inspired by Jules Verne and, of course, Beatles . Submarine of citrus replaces the sign, just at the entrance of another huge submarine, Yellow Submarine and honorable emblazoned in the center.
And all the sculptures in the open air, in the local main park. Entrance to the "Orange Country" visa-free, but tickets are needed, otherwise you will see nothing, because raised walls block the view. In the first minutes, only arrived in Menton, passed by the park, there noticed orange whale's tail and has become very curious. Keith really huge, though the cartoon, and beside him sound recording, as these whales sing. Relax and total immersion in the marine world.
The park is small, so that each sculpture to be admired as much as you want. Although still faced, miracles are just beginning! Coming out of the park, I saw a seahorse and shrimp. They roll, somehow arranged that underneath something like cabins, and there's a man who carries them. Shrimp behaved inappropriately, rushed to the edge of the pavement, and people shied away from it.
Not used yet - comes the very first day of the festival! In addition to the Festival funny baby Lemons in Menton, an exhibition of orchids. Mmmm ... Orchids! Of them are compositions simply sell in pots make orchid souvenirs ...
The exhibition saw dolls and symbols of the Olympics. That's right: it is from Moscow, headed by a community of Sochi and Menton, and because it often goes here. By the way, what about Russia, vote poster "Win a tour to St. Petersburg."
The next morning - a walk around the city. The sun came out, and it was hot even without just pullover jacket. Menton - a charming town on the shore of the sea, confusing maze of streets, suddenly putting out the embankment, and the whole architecture is impressive, besides the old French funny baby church, standing next to an Italian. Perhaps before Menton did not belong to France, but now borders Italy. By the way, my lunch that day was a real Italian pizza with artichokes chosen - this vegetable since my arrival in France very much. I lived in an old house, an apartment with vaulted arches and windows overlooking the narrow streets. So I felt the bohemian architecture funny baby Menton inside. The apartment is found through a popular site airbnb. Walk on the pedestrian street with souvenirs - a pleasure, although not buy souvenirs. Walking around the city, you could forget about the festival. But then there was the noise of drums and there were serious musicians in years. Customarily, when the carnival involves young, and now adults funny baby Gentlemen
For me, their appearance was a holiday, a festival without music and march through the city! Said hello to them in Russian, knocked a bit of drums, and went on. Along the way, these carnival musicians I then came across more than once. And quite unexpected happiness: on the street, it is important the whale swam on an old machine. Behind her seemed diver, of course, also of oranges and lemons. Huge sculptures were taken on a cart with an old car! The eye does not take.
