The main parade is on Feb. 2 in the 13th arrondissement as you noticed.<BR><BR>Last year there were more than 100 000 spectators along the 5km parade

Dear parisian,<BR>Thank you very much for confirming the parade date.<BR>I'll be one of the masses there to watch!<BR><BR>

Quinty, <BR>Sorry, I'm not going to be any help here, but what parade? I'll be in Paris then and I want to be one of the masses watching too!<BR>This sounds like an event I would hate to miss!

For Sharon, or anyone else who is interested, there will be a Chinese New Year celbration on February 2nd.<BR> <BR>The parade for this starts at 2:00 p.m. at the corner of d'Ivry and Blvd. Massena. (13e I believe)<BR>There will be all the gongs, drums and dragons that you'd expect, cultural dances, martial arts and Kung Fu, all in full costume.<BR>Really neat stuff, I think.<BR> <BR>There is also a parade on Feb 1st but it is not the main one. <BR><BR>
