A must stop for anyone visiting Me ton, especially if you enjoy visiting churches. I stopped in to St. Michel Basilica as I was passing by on a self guided walking tour. The resin anting church bells beckoned me, so I went in. It was a Sunday morning and although I could not understand very well, the language of the service the opening hymn was a familiar tune. It was a blessing to visit; such a beautiful church!

Facing the sea, the exotic botanical garden has a subtropical microclimate unique in France. The temperature annual average 17°C. Experiment garden, greenhouse with rare plants, it houses beautiful collections of palm trees, bamboos, citrus-fruit, edible tropical plants, that is all together over 1400 species. Thanks to its path with hundred year old palm trees, its pond with lotuses, water hyacinths, giant water lilies from Amazonia and its atmosphere of dry forest and jungle, this garden evokes memories of trips to the tropics.

Running at the same time as Nice Carnival (see my review about it and try to go if you can for an unforgettable experience) - during February and beginning of March, this is a unique and truly spectacular event. Each year has a different theme. This year's was Bollywood. Just picture a full-sized elephant, Taj Mahal, huge figure of Shiva and other beautiful installations - ENTIRELY made of lemons and oranges, each fruit carefully wrapped around with an elastic band and attached to the structure. I couldn't stop wondering of how many tons of fruit have been used!! Book tickets in advance, look out for an online promotion on the event website to book 2 events at the reduced rate for both Parade and Garden Exhibition - works out 8.50 Euro/pp per event. Do not miss the garden of lights (separate tickets at 13 Euro/pp) in the evening between 20:30 and 22:30, last entrance at 22:00 but come earlier, it's breathtakingly beautiful, you won't be able to stop yourself taking lots of photos. We spent an hour there. See the gardens in both day and night time. In the evenings the installations are illuminated and there is music, performances, refreshments and local citrus-themed produce. Everyone was so friendly and helpful - it was a heartwarming experience.
