Blimey, they're still going on.
Only two weeks to Easter and the beginning of the 40 days beforehand is still being celebrated.
Mind you, seeing as you're supposed to give up stuff in those 40 days I can't help but admire the logic of having the party late.
Anyway, Avenches, 12km NW of Fribourg is up for a party this weekend, and as you'd expect, they'll be holding it in the Roman Amphitheatre.
Let's face it, when your town used to be the most important in Switzerland, in thise 4th Century days when it was known as Aventicum, you'd want to brag a bit.
It seems to be the classic mix; Guggemusik, outrageous costumes and staying up late drinking.
If you are in the area, don't miss it.
Check www.avenches.ch for parade timings etc.
