Carnival in Nice (Carnaval De Nice) consists of many events. The next day after the opening, in the evening, the Night Carnival takes place on Place Massé na and neighboring streets. A ticket to the grandstand costs 26 euros. All details on the website http://www. nicecarnaval. com/
Based on the annual theme (in 2013 it was the theme "King of the Five Continents"), huge 10-meter puppets are created. The parade opens, and this is a tradition, with the figure of the king of the carnival. Behind the king, as usual - the queen. And then - the view of the French on other peoples and on themselves, with subtle irony and a desire to laugh at the stereotypical perception of other nationalities.
What is the representation of America worth - the Statue of Liberty in the form of a fat aunt standing on a hamburger and with Coca-Cola in her outstretched hand : ) Or the European Union - a boat that is mercilessly stormed, with heads of state inside and Greeks at the oars (this was just the period of the erupted Greek crisis).
Or a separate Continent - in the form of a spider weaving a web of the global Internet ...Well done, French!
The whole procession is accompanied by music, the already familiar serpentines and confetti, the cheerful voice of the leader, who actively encourages not to sleep: ) Where can you fall asleep! Plus, the cold helps active movements in the stands. Top tip - dress warmly! Got dressed? Now put on another sweater. In the evening in Nice it is not hot at all.
