Carnaval d'Ermont

The Carnaval d'Ermont: the festival of the Montmorency valley

The Carnaval d'Ermont is an eagerly awaited event by the inhabitants of this town of 29,000 people, located in the Montmorency valley about twenty kilometers north of Paris. Every spring, the town dons its carnival colors for a day of popular and family celebration.

The carnival parade brings together local associations, school groups, and families eager to participate or attend the parade. Participants compete in creativity with their costumes and floats, offering a varied and joyful spectacle to the public gathered along the route.

Community life at the heart of the carnival

The Carnaval d'Ermont is above all the result of strong community commitment. Cultural, sports, and neighborhood associations in the town contribute actively to the preparation and running of the event. Costume-making workshops, brass band rehearsals, and float preparation liven up local life in the weeks leading up to the carnival.

A carnival in a green setting

Ermont benefits from a pleasant natural setting, between the Montmorency forest and the Montmorency valley. The carnival takes place in the streets of the town center and may follow routes offering views of the green spaces that make this residential and family town so charming.

Easy access from Paris

Well served by RER C, Ermont is easily accessible from Paris and neighboring towns, which attracts many visitors from outside during the carnival.
