See day trips from your airport
Menton's Lemon Festival runs from Saturday 13 to Sunday 28 February 2027, and the Golden Fruit Parade is on the three Sundays, 14, 21 and 28 February, at 14:30. It works as a day trip, so here's how Sunday the 21st goes.
06:15, out of Gatwick with easyJet.
Morning, you land at Nice. The board has you through the airport and out by 10:10, and the event page says the express bus gets you to Menton before 11:00 if you land around 09:30. Gates open at 11:00 and the organiser asks you to be in Menton by then.
14:30, the Golden Fruit Parade. Grandstand seats were £26 for adults and £13 for children 6 to 12.
19:35, you leave Nice, and you land back at Luton at 23:05.

What the day costs
£102.00 all in, £69.00 of flights and £33.00 on the ground, with 9.4 hours on the Riviera, checked 9 Nov. That number's built on a Nice day, so check how the bus to Menton is covered on the Lemon Festival page before you book.
The midweek dates from Gatwick are £114.00 and £115.00, but there's no parade on a Wednesday, so we'd do the Sunday.
