Wednesday, February 18, it's 11:30, I am currently in kitchen to make pancakes because today is Carnival! We have family coming to see the tanks with us and my taste so good pancakes (hop, I set myself a few flowers!). After lunch, we prepare, we dress, it is 2:20 p.m., it's time to go !

The chariots leave Malemort (where they are mainly built) and go to the city center via Brive Tulle Road (the former National). We arrive Avenue de Paris, in position, my uncle will buy bags of confetti, and I took the opportunity to ask him one too. (Bag that will remain in my pocket, the koala was too busy making photos ... pfff what this ball koala times!) The chariots arrive, the music sounds, the crowd goes wild and it is the Goal! (Oula I digress ... I digress, the atmosphere was very nice, festive, more shine, disguised persons accompanying the chariots were full of enthusiasm! And now, the first chariot, the vehicle King and Queen of Carnival:

Then the shield / crest of the city of Malemort:

The chariot of Mr. Carnival (with rugby ball)

A troop of Acrobats making energetic music:

BWAAAAAAH ! The Rabbids also landed in Brive!

Follow characters of Cars (Disney) Planes (disney too) and the super plumber Mario:

Next chariot a Minion (with the eye that moves) of 'Despicable Me' :

Atmosphere of Brazil, with 3 samba dancers that seem to come directly from Rio:

Popeye and Olive follow the dancers aboard their ship flowers:

Then come two giant M & M's (which has a little hungry?) ... Unless the yolk is a giant lemon?

The Paddington Bear then arrives (I did not know, this is apparently a bear with a blue raincoat and a red hat, it's a personal children, much like Teddy Bear I feel). The chariot is also a cameraman FR3 (he better hardware than me ... the chance to film!):

Then a large orange and black dragon with a sort of giant smurf on the back ... Ha no, apparently it is a character of Avatar, oops!

It's time for the disney song of the moment... Let it goooooo, let it goooooo ! (Sorry for parents who can not, for my part, I like this song I have not had my overdose probably, haha!)

Last group of musicians in the procession, with very outlandish disguises:

And here's the end of the procession of chariots with beautiful ladies carnival:

And of course, after the passage of tanks and numerous launched confetti, the road is covered! It gives a little color, it amuses the children and the greatest is festive ... I think that it will only annoy are those who must go behind to clean up, good luck to them!

An important point of the carnival, in addition to pancakes and tanks, are the many rides! The usual shooting range rifle shooting, fishing for ducks, the haunted house, the cars-bumper or various carousels (where you have to catch the tail louse mickey get back a free ride), there was also the darlings, beard candy, waffles. All the stands are bright, decorated, full of color and life.

There are also raffle and even new attractions, such as the pool of water where children are found in large clear plastic bubbles and try to move on water by turning in all directions.

End rides, I get foot townhouse in the circles in the former nationnale, it's weird not to see one car. A small photo of a beautiful house in passing and returning home in the sun.

And that is the end of this little story (rather basic) but to be forgiven, (we are Friday, February 20) I will put new pictures following this story for photos of Malemort carnival (the same tanks in the end, but other angles (hopefully)).
Good weekend to EVERYONE !

Sunday, February 22, 16:30, I completely forgot to take pictures of the carnival at Malemort ! So I rushed to the balcony with my camera to take pictures of the latest chariots. So I thought to do more, but there will be only 4 pictures from the balcony. But anyway, 4 photos :

And now, the carnival is finished here, the rides will leave, confetti be swept away ... until next year !
