Live the magic of the Venetian Carnival in Annecy!

Between February and March, the so-called “Venice of the Alps” puts on its finest costume in an all Italian atmosphere. It was in 1996 that the adventure of the Venetian Carnival began in Annecy, one year after designating Vicenza in Veneto Annecy’s twin city.

The rules are the same as those of Venice’s original Carnival: there are only silent masks and all of the participants’ body parts must be covered by the costume.

Come and enjoy the magic and the mystery of the Venetian Carnival on the streets of Viel Annecy for a few days.
