Ideas for your stay : Nice - Carnival for a day - 100 people
Morning
Start at the Fine Arts Museum (Jules Chéret) for a guided tour on the “History of Carnival through painting”. After the visit, you can take advantage of the cocktail in the museum patio to ask the guide for more information on such artists as Raoul Dufy or Gustav-Adolf Mossa.
Lunch at a café terrace on Promenade des Anglais. The view is splendid, just a few yards from the Mediterranean waters. The fare brimming with sunshine, blending the flavour of Provence with speciality sweets for Carnival: bugnes and beignets (fritters).
Afternoon
This is the moment for the gentlest of battles, the Bataille de Fleurs, or Flower Parade. This Carnival event combines the beauty of the floats decked with thousands of flowers, the irresistible charm of the young and beautiful models presiding over these mobile moving gardens.
Evening
At the end of dinner, a sweet, coffee, a little glass of brandy (marc de Provence) and off you go for a night of merry-making. Don the disguise you have selected before dinner to join in the famous Défilé aux Lumières (Parade of Lights), punctuated by the passage of King Carnival in person. Still in disguise, slip into one of the many “Veglioni”, fancy-dress soirees organized, during Carnival, in the hôtels and fashionable discotheques of Old Nice.
