The Fete du Citron is a festival held in France that encompasses anything and everything having to do with [citrus fruit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sumo-citrus-x-chillhouse). These massive [orange and lemon sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lemonade-by-piecework-puzzles) were put on display and look like something out of a [vitamin C fairy tale](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zesty-lemon-eclairs).

One of the structures is a castle built for a citrus king with four massive towers all covered in bright fruit. While the Eiffel Tower is one of the greatest tourist attractions in the world, there is also a replica made out of fruit which is quite the spectacle. If you're looking for a cozy cabin, the orange cottage will do just the trick (it even has a beautiful little garden).

Planning your next vacation should be easy now that you know the citrus spectacles that await you at Fete du Citron.
