Nice’s 123rd annual carnival takes place from February 16th to March 4th, 2007. This year, the self-styled “most important event on the French Riviera” will have the theme of the King of the Grand Free-for-all. This is in deference to France’s 2007 Rugby world championship and elections, as well as to all types of free-for-alls on the planet….
Cartoonists from the most prestigious international newspapers, experts on their time and culture, have once again come together to create the visual identity of a modern carnival, all the while respecting its tradition.
All the parades will take place along the seaside Promenade des Anglais, or on the beach, and will feature countless things to do and see.
The carnival period, in addition to its festivities, offers a wonderful opportunity to discover Nice in winter: its mild climate, its bright sky, and the delicious art of living on the French Riviera. Nice is a beautiful city of almost one million inhabitants where world-class art museums and seafood restaurants sit close by.
