  • Review this attraction
  • The Carnaval de Granville began in the 16th century as a farewell party for local fishermen. Today, people flock from all over France to see the extravagantly decorated floats at this four-day event, which starts on the Sunday before Shrove Tuesday. On the last day, family members and friends disguise themselves behind masks and surprise each other.
