The top Carnival in France, the
Nice Carnival takes place in Place Masséna and the Albert I garden, close to the
Hôtel Suisse.
The 2026 theme: "Long live the Queen!
After decades of masculine heritage, it's time to pay tribute to femininity in all its forms with a bold and meaningful theme: "Long live the Queen".
Nice is set to vibrate to the rhythm of a
carnival metamorphosis, bursting with powerful and inspiring messages. This carnival will be a real tribute to the great heroines of history and fiction, to these female figures who have marked and shaped our world through their struggles, their courage and their influence.
