Photos of the Carnival of Fort-de-France in Martinique

The Carnival in Martinique is also an opportunity to let loose a bit!

Men dress up, cross-dress... (Okay, this one is totally Carnival of Dunkirk style!)

These popular festivities, in which all the inhabitants participate, are called "vidés" in the Caribbean...

The highlight of a "vidé" is a sort of acceleration of the group where participants start to run while continuing to dance in rhythm.
