France: Menton

Last Saturday I got two postcards from France.

One of them shows various views of Menton. Menton is a commune on the Côte d'Azur near the Italian border. For centuries it belonged to Monaco and became a part of France just in 1860. After that it soon became a fashionable tourist centre with grand mansions and gardens. It has a strong connection to the citrus industry and every year in February the Fête du Citron, Lemon Festival, takes place in Meton.

Stamps:

Lille - World Capital of Design 2020 (issued 06-01-2020)
with a special postmark from the philatelic shop in Menton

Thank You very much William!
