0 1 Francophone carnivals
A Le Carnaval de Québec
C’est le carnaval le plus visité au monde. Les festivités ont lieu le premier
mardi de février. On y voit des courses de chiens et le patinage sur glace. Ne
manquez pas la parade des écoles primaires, quand les plus petits portent des
vêtements multicolores. Leurs professeurs mettent des costumes bizarres.
B Le Carnaval de Guadeloupe
Cette année, le carnaval commencera le 3 mars et finira une semaine plus tard.
Le Touloulou est le personnage le plus célèbre du carnaval. Les femmes sont
habillées de manière élégante, avec un masque et des gants. Il faut
absolument voir les enfants qui se déguisent en petits monstres.
