Menton Lemon Festival: transport and drop-off with chauffeur

Every winter, Menton becomes the most colourful town on the Riviera. Tonnes of oranges and lemons form monumental sculptures, floats parade along the seafront and the whole town lives to the rhythm of the festival. It is a unique spectacle. It is also one of the times when driving into Menton is most difficult.

Our advice is simple: leave the wheel to a private chauffeur. You arrive relaxed, leave when you decide, and keep all your energy for the show.

Why your own car complicates the day

During the Lemon Festival, part of the centre is reserved for pedestrians and parades. Car parks fill up early, streets around the seafront are restricted and traffic jams build up on the Moyenne Corniche as well as along the coast. For a family with children or elderly relatives, walking from a distant car park can spoil the outing.

With a chauffeur, this problem disappears. He knows which access routes are open that day and drops you at the authorised drop-off point closest to the gardens or the stands.

What a private chauffeur changes on the day

An arrival with no detours

You give your departure address and the time you wish to be in Menton. Your chauffeur chooses the smoothest route according to current traffic and drops you close to the festivities.

A return when you decide

The parades often end at the same time for thousands of visitors. Rather than queuing, you meet your chauffeur at a point agreed in advance. With an hourly hire service, he stays in the area and adapts to your pace.

A vehicle suited to your group

A Mercedes E-Class or S-Class saloon suits a couple or a small group. For a large family or friends, the Mercedes V-Class seats up to seven passengers with pushchairs and bags. Child seats are provided on request.

Make the most of your Riviera day

Menton lies at the end of the French Riviera, a stone’s throw from the Italian border. Make the most of it with a full day out: lunch in the old town, a stop at Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, a visit to Monaco or an escape to the markets of Ventimiglia. Your chauffeur links each stop without you having to think about parking.

We collect you in Nice, at the airport, in Monaco, Cannes, Antibes or at your villa in the hinterland. The journey is door to door. For a one-way trip to the town, see also our page private chauffeur Nice – Menton.

Our tips for enjoying the festival

• Book your chauffeur as soon as you have your tickets: parade weekends are the most in demand.
• Check the official programme of the town of Menton for parade days and the times of the night parades.
• Bring warm clothing for the evenings: the sea breeze is cool in February.
• Choose a simple meeting point for the return, away from the stand exits.
• Share your phone number with the chauffeur so you can find each other easily.
