Traditional spring carnival has started In Nice

The traditional spring carnival has started on Friday evening in Nice - one of the most popular resort cities of France.
The honorable right to open national holiday, being celebrated already for the 123-rd time, has been given to the president of the country, and is more true - to his 13-meter double made of a dense paper tense on a metal skeleton and covered from above by a thin film as protection against the rain.
“King of a carnival”, dressed up in a blue-white vest of French Rugby football team, holding an oblong ball in one hand, and  beer in other hand, and topped with gold crown, has solemnly proceeded on a chariot on the well-known Nice quay. Dancers of folklore were cheerfully dancing and the dressed up pupils of local schools brought up the rear.
On Saturday evening the double of Chirac will again head carnival procession.
