It’s that time of year, again; the Nice Carnival<\/a>.\u00a0 The bleachers are up on the Prom; tour buses are filing into town and locals are bracing themselves for the annual traffic meltdown. Despite the few residents actually attend the Nice Carnival, everyone has an opinion about it. The first opinion is that it’s “trop cher” which means that locals have to actually pay for it. It didn’t used to be that way! It used to be open to everyone! Well, that was before my time but certainly\u00a0 after Garibaldi’s era.<\/p>\n

Anyway. You don’t have to pay for it anymore. Now the\u00a0 Nice carnival parade is free every day except the first and last days. Chouette?\u00a0 You do still have to pay for the Bataille des Fleurs but, IMO, it’s well worth it. (See photos of the Nice Carnival<\/a> (Carnaval, in French).<\/p>\n
