and is essentially a German Mardi Gras. We had never seen anything like it in our tiny little town. When we awoke (after the horrible ski trip) there were bands playing and people yelling, it was an all day affair. Here are some pictures:
We wondered why we weren't aware of this chaotic event. Knowing there was no way we'd have forgotten about it, we pulled out the calendar, and discovered we had been in Paris last year at this time. So that's how we missed it. The other shocking thing is...ALL the trash was gone the next morning. Not a trace left behind!
