puts your town's piddly memorial day parade to shame

The people in Nantes, France really know how to do a parade. During a festival commemorating Jules Verne, a giant marionette climbs out of a huge barrel, mounts a mammoth mechanical elephant and parades through the streets. As she parades through the streets, the French giantess takes a shower, sucks a giant lollipop and rests on the elephant's tusks, before she is ultimately hoisted into a giant rocket and set ablaze. [from WFMU's Beware of the Blog.] The site is in French, but just follow the arrows at the bottom of each page.

but maybe more people will take note of the thread this time around. Worth looking at the old one for links to further info, images and better video.
