Royal de Luxe Parade in Nantes

A pretty amazing gallery of photos of a parade in France in which.. well, a giant Bjork puppet fights a giant elephant puppet to see who gets to eat thousands of hotel concierges and women in wooden swimsuits. The French, are we right? Frickn' wacky.
Actually it was a celebration of the 100th Anniversary of Jules Verne’s Around the World in Eighty Days.
