Ahh the joys of living in France.
You see a poster advertising an event and then realise it hasn't told you exactly where and at what time. YOU are meant to know these things.
Where the carnival starts I have no idea but we have watched it in the past as it wends its raucous way along boulevard de Strasbourg and then followed it to the end on the "fairgound" behind the eglise St Martial.
In case you're wondering boulevard de Strasbourg is the street with the Hotel de France, the macaroon shop and Credit Agricole among others.
I think it starts at about 2pm but don't quote me on that. Time, as a concept, is very fluid in France and something of a moveable feast.
If you're expecting Rio or Notting Hill then this ain't it. Instead, it's a rather nice, rustic and noisy affair culminating in a cirque or fair at the top end.
Sorry I can't be more specific.
Bonne chance and enjoy.
