A carnival open to everyone and completely free

The Paris Carnival is the event you can't miss and for one simple reason: for just one day, you can break free from your daily routine and pa ```Join the party in joy and good spirits, no matter your age! We do recommend coming dressed up so you blend in with the vibrant colors around! To get into the spirit, you could dress up as Cupid, with his wings and golden bow, or as a rainbow Harlequin, a symbol of pure joy, or even as a dove, symbol of peace (I’m sure you’ll have the vision for it). After that, feel free to stroll around the city dressed as a panda, superhero, or any other fictional character that suits you!

Plus, the parade is entirely free! So, shall we meet there?
