Battle of the Flowers, a parade along the Promenade d'Anglais, along the Baie des Anges. Wonderful costumes and floats created with flowers, lovely women tossing out mimosa branches to the crowds, hundreds of tourists and locals lining the street, a camera in every hand, winter sunshine. It's crazy to land in Nice for
Carnaval by accident. Most of the people here have been planning this for months, no doubt. And my apartment is on Place Massena, again not by design, but right in the heart of
Carnaval.
