Am I asking too much to chill on the French Riviera? Probably. So, just take me to the next cache. : )
Thanks to Wikipedia for the info below:
The Nice Carnival is one of the world's major carnival events, alongside the Brazilian Carnival and Venetian Carnival. It is held annually in February in Nice on the French Riviera.
The earliest records establish its existence in 1294 when the Count of Provence, Charles Anjou, wrote that he had passed "the joyous days of carnival."[1] This may make the Nice Carnival the original carnival celebration.
In 1873, a committee was created for the Carnival, headed by local artist Alexis Mossa [fr], with later contributions from his son Gustav-Adolf Mossa. The Carnival was reinvented into a parade,[2] adding masquerades, satirical floats and competitions.[3]
Today the event attracts over a million visitors to Nice every year. The Carnival spans a two-week period in February.
Every year, a special theme is chosen, and traditional artists create 18 floats and other figurines in traditional papier-mâché for the colorful parade. The parades take place day and night, while on the Promenade des Anglais, "flower battles" occur.
