Carnaval Parade - "Big Heads"

Here's a sample of the Corso Carnavalesque with its Grosses Tetes ("Big Heads").  The Carnaval has 60 floats, 30 of which are Grosses Tetes.  It has 150 other animated features, 80,000 to 100,000 locally grown flowers, 1,800 employees, 1,500 street artists, and makes between 30 and 35 million Euros for the city.
