So recently we talked about Venice’s world-famous Carnevale. We thought we’d take a sec to talk about another great Mardi Gras destination in Europe. And we would like to point out that many of our French river cruises frequent here. We are talking about Nice. France’s little jewel on the Côte d'Azur. With it’s shimmering turquoise blue waters, white sands and vibrant nightlife, who wouldn’t want to come here? It’s great anytime of the year, but since Carnival is coming up, it’s imperative that we brag about Nice’s Carnaval.
It’s safe to say that if you come to Nice for Carnival, you are there to party in style. Held between Febraury 18th and March 8th this year, just like Venice’s Carnevale, it is one of the world’s greatest carnivals. Nice turns into a vast pleasure land. Parades, parties, costumes, color – festivities explode all over the city, while spectacular fireworks displays explode over the Mediterranean. This year’s theme is Le Roi de la Méditerranée (King of the Mediterranean) and it’s sure to be a cultural adventure.
Many of the festivities during Nice’s Carnaval are free, but some events and the parades charge a fee. And the fees are worth it, trust us. If any of you get to go this year, let us know! We would love to hear what you thought of it.
