What are all these people doing in La Rochelle? And why are all the kids and a lot of the adults dressed up in costumes? Well, this was "Carnaval", a huge parade which began in two different areas of the city and converged on the port area. There were bands, small floats, balloons, and literally thousands of young kids just walking or riding bikes, dressed up as favorite story characters and having a good time.
