The French Riviera is quieter this week after the Carnaval de Nice and Fête du Citron® in Menton. In Nice, thousands of onlookers watched the floats in Corsi Carnavalesque and the Battle of the Flowers. While down the coast in Menton, the 88th Lemon Festival turned Biovès Gardens into a citrus sculpture park.
Road cycling fans are in for a treat with the 80th edition of the Paris-Nice: Race to the Sun.
