An unmissable international event

Recognized as the first carnival in France with an international character, the Nice Carnival is the largest winter event on the French Riviera. It is one of the most famous in the world, alongside those of Rio and Venice. For two weeks, Nice pulsates to the rhythm of the festivities. Carnival parades, street performances, international musicians, and the famous flower battles follow one another in a colorful, festive, and family-friendly atmosphere.

The highlights of the Carnival

• Carnival corsos: a real spectacle of sound and light
