The Carnaval de Nice is one of the world’s oldest and most spectacular pre-Lenten festivals, transforming the French Riviera into a riot of color, music, and street theater every February. With its massive flower battles (batailles de fleurs), towering papier-mâché floats, and dazzling night parades, the carnival combines Mediterranean flair with a touch of absurdity. Set against the backdrop of the Promenade des Anglais and the sparkling Baie des Anges, it’s a joyful explosion of creativity and tradition that captures the playful soul of Nice.
