I hope they use the fruit after the festival. Otherwise, it would be such a waste when so many are starving and could use those wonderful vitamins.

Nice figures; but it is a real shame to use such a quantity of lemon, lime, oranges and tangerines!!! I'd rather make free juice to all people there!!!

I love lemons and either eat them or drink their juice - on a daily basis. Sweeter Italian lemons are my favorite. The pictures of Menton are wonderful - but a shame more reference wasn’t given to where exactly this place is.

Not a great article. I believe they are talking about the Menton just outside of Monaco, but I am not sure.

Wonderful artistry, who can possibly look at Lemons and Oranges the same way after seeing these photos.

Think of how many people those fruits could nourish instead of wasting them on floats, etc. Waste is a sin.
