What is the Carnaval de Nice? 
 

The main winter event on the Riviera is one of the largest carnivals in the world, offering a program of unforgettable entertainment. This year, the carnival processions, comprising 20 floats telling the story of the “Blue Planet” will work their way up to a crescendo of gigantic decorations on the Place Masséna. 

  These giant, colorful parades take place day and night, with entertainment provided by over 1,000 musicians and dancers from across the world. In a unique setting, on the Promenade des Anglais, the elegant “flower battles” are part of the carnival not to be missed. On floats decorated with the most stunning floral compositions, extravagantly dressed characters throw out mimosas, gerberas, and lilies into the public.
