Carnival in Nice, France: Colorful parade is good to watch but tickets are expensive to stay

#LocalFestivals One of the three major carnivals in the world is the Nice Carnival in France, the other two are the Rio de Janeiro Carnival in Brazil and the Venice Carnival in Italy. The origin of the Nice Carnival can be traced back to the 13th century. Some say it was a carnival celebration before the arrival of Ramadan, while others say it was an activity brought by pagans. Over time, it evolved into a modern, diverse, large-scale event held every February. The opening parade during the day is colorful, and the light show at night is even more lively and interesting. There is also a bit of a Halloween theme here, with passers-by dressing up as movie or cartoon characters, etc. Everyone enjoys the comfortable and leisurely holiday atmosphere here. The only downside is that the security check at the entrance is a bit chaotic, and tickets have to be purchased day by day, and accommodation is relatively expensive.
