The City of Nice is offering an audio description service during two Carnival parades — the Carnival Parade on February 24 and Flowers Parade on February 25, 2026 — to make the event more accessible to everyone.
Carried out by students from ISCOM, the audio description will allow visually impaired audiences to follow the visual content of the parades in a precise and detailed way, while enjoying the overall sound atmosphere.
Seated at the foot of the stands, visually impaired spectators can listen to the students’ commentary through a wireless headset, with the commentary transmitted from a specially dedicated booth.
This initiative is organized with the support of La Mut’ and in collaboration with the City of Nice’s Disability Mission and ISCOM.
