Gallery 1 - Venetian Carnival
Every few years there is a special Venetian Carnival event here in Paris - the Venetian Carnival of Paris.
It takes place every year on the quays and gardens of the port de plaisance Paris bastille (arsenal port). This colourful event is the occasion to parade among the crowd but also on boats sailing along Seine river.
Here is a sampling of these most wonderful costumes.
