Toulouse Carnival today

The annual Carnaval parade in Toulouse is usually held on a Saturday. But as that day is now habitually taken up with other less celebratory manifestations, the parade has been moved to a Sunday for the first time. But it also looks like being the first sunny carnival since 2013, last year being particularly windy.
Organisers have been preparing their floats for months and are hoping for around 50000 spectators.
