Karnaval Humanitaire 27.2.2001

Le Karnaval Humanitaire is a series of events of humanitary nature, organised by various assocations once a year at Villeurbanne (Lyon metropolitan area), France. The most visible of the activities is a students' and schoolchildren's parade in funny costumes. This 9th edition gathered about a thousand (my rough estimate) happy people to march on the streets.
