Menton · Côte d'Azur

93ème Fête du Citron®

Parkings

Given the large influx of vehicles heading to the Fête du Citron®, the simplest way is to reach Menton via the ZOU! train network.

On corso Sundays, it is strongly recommended to arrive in Menton before 11am.

To make your journey easier during the Fête du Citron®, we recommend that you pay particular attention to road signs and notices when arriving in Menton:

From exit N°59 of the A8 motorway, signs indicate the different reception areas (for cars, for motorhomes…)
in town, near the parade route, pay particular attention to posted municipal orders prohibiting parking.
Do not hesitate to ask the staff on site if you have any doubts.

To park, we advise you to use public car parks.
The best option remains public transport.

The Town of Menton informs everyone wishing to attend the Fête du Citron® Corsos:
