Annecy has been called the Alpine Venetia since a long time, with its canals crossing the historic town. This nickname takes its full sense during the 2 and a half days of the Carnival…
At the end of February or beginning of March, several hundreds of masks roam slowly and freely in the streets of the Old Town, pose, parade and group together on the catwalks.
No one knows who's hiding behind these masks and these splendid and mysterious costumes that perfectly match with the colour of town's walls.
Hundreds of photographers are here to get the best picture. Will you be one of them ?
The Italian atmosphere is not far !
