Masks, music and glitter: en route for the carnival

Special carnival city trip

As in Luxembourg, Carnival is celebrated with great pomp in many European cities. In France, Germany and Belgium, Carnival is more than a popular public festival; it is deeply rooted in regional traditions, as is the case for example in Cologne, around Lille, or in Dinant. Whether along the banks of the Meuse, along the Rhine or in the Lille region, to the rhythm of street parades and marching bands, put on your finest costume and join the festivities between February and March 2026.
