Of all the famous Carnivals around the world, the once that takes place in Paris is up with the best. This popular Parisian festival that used to be called the Feast of Fools has grown in popularity since its relaunch in the 90s. Its incredible success is in part due to its joyously colourful parades and its Promenade du Bœuf Gras (Procession of the Fatted Ox), echoing the event’s history. All ages are invited to the parade, which this year is on the theme of ‘a fabulous aerial world’. The Paris Carnival parade departs around 13:00 from the Place Gambetta in the 20th arrondissement!
