The fourth flower parade of the Nice carnival was scheduled to start at 2:30 p.m. this Wednesday on the Promenade des Anglais and Place Masséna. The town hall of Nice finally announced around 1:20 pm that the "battle of flowers" was canceled "due to the forecasts of Météo France which announce on the city of Nice strong gusts of wind".
From night and until 6 p.m., the Alpes-Maritimes department is concerned with yellow vigilance "Strong wind" with peaks at more than 90 km / h.
So there will only be a battle of flowers on Saturday afternoon before the end of the event, the same day in the evening. The prefecture said Monday that there was no question, to date, to cancel the Nice carnival in the face of the spread of the coronavirus.
