Carnaval de Nantes / Carnival in Nantes, West of France


Throwing Tons of Confetti at the Carnaval Parade in Nantes, France

Packs of confetti-crazed kids run up and down the parade route, pelting everything in site. The detailed floats and the Grosses Têtes (the Big Heads) take a year to make but two seconds to get covered with Silly String. It's a traditional float parade: families, noisemakers, cotton candy. Only with a French flair…like these Super Duponts, the Homer Simpsons of France. It's not Rio, but the Carnaval of Nantes is the biggest in France. The 2009 theme is the Conquest of Air and Space.
