Friday 14th November 2008
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Sea, sun and the spectacular! It’s carnival time in Nice this February and Railbookers recommends going along for the ride. Carnival short breaks from £199 per person.
Keep the winter blues at bay with a trip to the Riviera this winter and join in the fun as the “King of Masquerades” takes over the city of Nice from 13th February to the 1st March 2009.
Once again Nice’s annual carnival will light up the Riviera with fabulous floats, flower parades, tightrope walkers, acrobats and fireworks, all set against the backdrop of the Mediterranean Sea. Take your seat and watch as the Promenade des Anglais and the Place de Messena erupt in a riot of colour and music.
Practice the art of deception with the King of Masquerades in Nice with Railbookers and stay at the 3* Mercure Nice Grimaldi for 3 nights with the 3rd night free from just £199 per person, including breakfast and return train travel.
