Corsi, flower battles, Luminéoles, socca party… The Carnival still has many great moments to offer until next Tuesday, March 4, which will mark the end of the festivities with the burning of the King.
With consistently high attendance, the Nice Carnival is once again enjoying deserved success this year.
Magnificent floats, a new stage at the heart of Place Masséna, and new activities (10 miles, giant zumba, lunch in the Ferris wheel…) clearly show that the biggest event in Nice still has bright days ahead.
