Nice Carnival at Night


Returning from Cimiez we changed and had a lovely meal in the hotel restaurant. We had a busy day and enjoyed taking our time over a long meal. After dinner we decided to take a stroll along the promenade and see what we could of the lighted carnival parade which had started earlier in the evening. We hadn't expected to see much as it was a bit late and we hadn't bought tickets to the parade, however, there was no barrier to the parade route and the parade apparently makes several circuite like the earlier one so we were able to see everything. The floats were a bit creepy looking with all the giant heads and maniacle grins. The crowds were quite rowdy as well, harrasing the people in the parade with silly string and confetti. We saw all the floats then made our way back to the hotel.
