Mardi Gras Fun, fanciful and essentially French Nowhere else does whimsy mingle so comfortably with elegance. New Orleans is the epicenter of all that is exuberant and wild, yet it also clings to its history of French sophistication. Mardi Gras perfectly reflects this dichotomy with its joie de vive and unbridled revelry that acts as a precursor to Lent's period of sacrosanct reflection. Fat Tuesday takes the classical influence of Europe and pushes it over the top with big color and big fun.
