Carneval de Limoux
We enjoyed a lovely day at Limoux last Sunday. It was the finale of the Carneval which starts in January. Every weekend there is a procession of masked figures in different colours. Dancing and throwing confetti with the oompa band playing behind. Great fun!
Even the little ones dress up..this weeks theme was the red & black Pierrots



No idea what he is called but he's a big lad!!
He was burnt later that evening! Similar to our Guy Fawkes.
Pretty in pink.
Mmmm...classy!
Congregating in the hall before the procession.
Little poser! :-))
Very classy!! Not!
Little cutey! Definitely got the aah factor.
Bags of confetti...looks heavy. Soon to be thrown at the crowds and stuffed down collars and fronts!! I know...I am still finding it a week later!
A well earned rest...they haven't begun yet!

She should go to the Venezia carnivale with her costume :-).

More confetti!!





Waltzing in the streets at the beginning of the parade.
Beautiful ruffs.

An even smaller cutie :-)
