With more than 200,000 visitors each year, La Fete du Citron or
the Lemon festival is an exclusive event that has taken on a new
life in the last few years. Centering heroes from the world of
cartoons and comic books, the festival commemorates numerous
sculptures made out of lemon and oranges; each telling a story in a
number of scenes.
