Today we went to the Gothic quarter and enjoyed the Festival of the Giants. People wear very tall costumes with mostly human forms, although we saw dragons and other scary creators. They dance and twirl, and one large police officer squirted water towards the audience! There were thousands of people watching the parade
We then walked towards the center courtyard and watched the human pyramid competition. Groups of people climb on top of each other's shoulders and try to reach the tallest height. It's scary when they fall; however, there are so many people below to break their fall.
Next, we meandered through the narrow streets looking at all the quant shops, going through an historical museum, and enjoying the Gothic architecture.
