Carnival in Nice is an annual celebration since 1876. Various animals are described as holy to the inhabitants of Nice such like the bat (ratapignata), the cat, the mouse, the babaou - sort of dragon, fire-eater and many more magic and devilish and grotesque beings. All previous mentioned are each year a part of the spectacle. Certainly a fun to check out - in case you visit this region in February.
