Paris Carnaval February 10th, 2013

This year the theme is the world of toys.
The annual Paris Carnaval procession, or the Promenade du Boeuf Gras (Fat Cow Parade) is led by the Fat Cow herself, and it revives an age-old tradition that begun in 1274.
This cheerful procession, also known as the Pantruche Carnaval and the Saint-Fargeau, makes its way through the capital's streets, accompanied by trumpeters and other musicians, until it reaches the town hall. Carnival build-up begins at 1.30pm in rue Le Vau, leaves Place Gambetta at 3pm and arrives at town hall 7pm. For full details of the 2013 route, visit carnaval-paris.org
