What Provence vacation would be complete without a visit to stunning Nice? This winter, in addition to strolling along the Promenade des Anglais and into the Place Masséna, stop by the Nice Carnival February 13-March 1. This centuries-old festival is awash in dazzling colors, street theatre, flower parades, music, dance and folly. Nice’s mild, sunny winters, lush Mediterranean landscape, and distinctive light make this city the perfect backdrop for the carnival. This year’s theme is concealment: costumes, masks, and the art of deception. Don’t miss the spectacle—or the chance to don a disguise and create a little mischief! The details can be found at the Nice Carnival official website.
