Women's Carnival or Laundry Day

March 19, the carnival of women brings back to honour an old festive tradition of the mid-Lent celebration once organised by Parisian laundresses.
On this occasion, women are the queens of the parade and men are required to dress as women to be part of the party!
Of course you can participate, in disguise or not.
After le carnaval de Paris - Promenade du Bœuf Gras which takes place every year on the Sunday before Mardi Gras, the women's carnival is the mid-Lent carnival.
It's a parade in the Marais district.
Meeting point from 1pm on the central square of the Place du Châtelet.
Departure of the parade from the Place du Châtelet at 3pm and return to the same place around 6pm.
The parade will start at 3pm for a loop circuit passing through the Marais district. Return and end at 6pm.
