Flambeaux Bicycle Tours

WHAT ARE FLAMBEAUX?
THE FLAMBEAUX (PRONOUNCED: "FLAM-BOW") ARE TORCHES USED FOR NIGHT PARADES DURING MARDI GRAS SEASON.
ELECTRIC STREET LIGHTS WERE INTRODUCED TO NEW ORLEANS IN 1887. BEFORE THEN CARNIVAL KREWES RELIED ON FLAMBEAUX CARRIERS TO LIGHT UP THE NIGHT SO THAT REVELERS COULD SEE THE FANCIFUL FLOATS. THE FLAMBEAUX ALSO SERVED AS GUIDES THAT LED THE PARADES ON THEIR ROUTE.
