Fête du Citron: Corso - Giants!
These giant creatures are motorized and whiz from one side of the street to the other at great speed, stopping just before they crash into the crowd. Scary stuff and possibly a little dangerous, hence the security man you see in the smaller photograph. There are half a dozen of these creatures - one naturally enough: a wild boar.Tomorrow - the last day of the Corso. Do come back for the grand finale!
Wow, that is huge!

I think it would scare the hell out of me, LOL.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice holiday weekend.

I love these very popular festivals. The Corso seems fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't want that thing speeding towards me!!
ReplyDeleteI'll be here tomorrow!
j'avais oublié ce mot "Corso" que j'avais du rencontrer pendant des vacances sur la Côte.
ReplyDeleteC'était aussi le nom d'une boutique de produits italiens à la croix de Chavaux à Montreuil sous Bois.
Beau reportage pour revenir au sujet d'aujourd'hui !
Coooollll!
ReplyDeleteDon't think the Health & Safety people here would allow such things on our streets.
ReplyDeleteImpressionnant! I think that even at my age I would have been afraid of it :-))
ReplyDeleteIt is both magnificent and beautiful! It reminds me of "In the Heart of the Beast" Theatre in Minneapolis, MN that has an annual summer parade with their giant puppets. I took my then 4-yr-old grandson to see it one year, and he had the good sense to be terrified of the puppets!!
ReplyDeleteThey look like fun, I would like to walk the route with one of those.
ReplyDeleteThis parade has been so much fun! It seems like it is much more spectacular and interactive than any parade I've been to.
ReplyDeleteThey look very scary.
ReplyDeletesuperbe, cela me fait penser a des marionnettes d'un cirque de Nantes. très impressionnant, j'adore.
ReplyDeletebon weeckend de pâques
Those are huge to be whizzing about like that. I bet the kids get a real kick out of them.
