Traditionally, the May feast is a marker in Nice which celebrates the taking root of spring and the renewal of nature. It is therefore a twist of fate that this postponement announced this Monday by the city due to bad weather.
Exit on Wednesday May 1st, the city postpones the event until the weekend
