Travel by motorhome to the south of France and visit Nice. This is where the festival Carnaval de Nice will be held from 17 February 2024 to 3 March 2024. This festival already has a great history as it has been organised since 1873!

The carnival in Nice is the biggest carnival in the world after Rio de Janeiro and Venice. It is a parade where artists from all over the world participate, with large floats, big floating heads, street art and music groups. The parades are opened by the floats of the so-called King and Queen of Carnival. From history, the king is the leader and the queen is married to it. The other floats that follow are the so-called subjects. Most parades are organised in the evening so that the lights on the various floats look most beautiful. Several artists participate in this carnival and a new theme is chosen every year. The theme for 2024 is K-Pop! The carnival will end on 2 March 2024 with the burning of "the king" and his fireworks. This event is free to visit.

The Carnaval de Nice is a great magical event that you should definitely not miss if you are in this region in February. Just be aware, tickets must be bought in advance for the parades.
