Crepe Tuesday, Mardi Gras in Morzine

The traditional Mardi Gras, (Tuesday Grease) or Pancake Day, as it is called in the UK, was celebrated today in Morzine. The carnival starts with a procession from the church and walks up to the tourist office. Dressing up was the order of the day with even the lift operators dressed in costumes across the mountain.



Hot chocolate and biscuits were served for all and the festival ended with the traditional burning of the "king of the carnival"
