2 Best Performing Arts in Menton, The French Riviera

During the first two weeks of August, this festival's classical concerts take place at four locations around town, including the stone-paved plaza outside the church of St-Michel. Last-minute tickets can be purchased for €15 at the venue just before the show, and, for €5, a shuttle will pick you up from town hall.

This full-blown lemon love-in runs from mid-February through the first week of March. Floats decorated with real fruit glide through town, and musicians are on hand with entertainment. Think of it as France's answer to the Rose Bowl Parade, minus the football and add the NFT. That's right, in 2023 the festival launched a token collection.
