For a few years now, Bruges, the so-called "Venice of the North", has hosted a Venetian carnival that takes place through the picturesque alleys, along the legendary canals and parks of the beautiful medieval city.

This international group of more than 100 "Costumes", known worldwide for their costumes and masks adorned under the rules of the Venetian carnival, will stroll through the city to admire and photograph their beautiful costumes before their departure for Venice.

The group "Les Costumés de Vénise", now under the name of “Regards Vénitiens” would attract thousands of visitors and tourists in the last 4 years with parades and nocturnes.

A real must for each photographer and Venice Carnival fashionista.
