NICE CARNIVAL 2005

NICE CARNIVAL / CARNIVAL OF NICE
Nice France : the city of French Carnival

Traditionally, Mardi Gras and Carnival celebrations include lots of feasting, partying and parading. It's been that way in Christian countries around the world since the Middle Ages. And once again it's time for fun and frivolity on the French Riviera with the Carnival of Nice (France) from saturday February 11th 2006, to tuesday February 28th 2006. Two weeks of processions and parades with spectacular floats and corsi (processions of floral floats),with spectacular and elegant flower parades on the Promenade des Anglais,with various events and festivities: rock, techno and dance concerts, entertainment and fireworks, and much more.

This top winter event on the French Riviera attracts over 1 200 000 spectators. The theme for 2006 is King of Dupes.
The theme illustrates our society's excesses, where the real, the virtual and the ostentatious meld to the point of obliterating all boundaries. Thus, Carnival parades will be "virtual moons of green cheese" and the flower parades made of "fantasy and illusion".

This year, all the parades will take place on the Promenade des Anglais against the natural background of the Mediterranean sea, and there will be a new Grand Parade with an evening torchlight Flower Parade.
The carnival time is also a great moment to discover Nice and its surroundings, to stroll along the narrow streets of the old town, to visit the many museums, to try the delicious local cuisine and most of all, to enjoy a walk on the cote d’azur on a sunny afternoon.
