Description
The carnival of Binche marks its first return after the Coronavirus pandemic with its main parade stars, the Gilles, wearing large hats weighing three kilogrammes, made of ostrich feathers, and throwing oranges to the spectators.
Several tens of thousands of people attend this event, which historians believe dates back to the 14th century, and also marks the approach of Lent. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
