Company proposing a visit to discover the workshops of manufacture of the floats of the city.

Visit the creative workshops of the city's largest carnival float manufacturing company. Almost all Mardi Gras floats are built by this company since 1947. The visit allows you to discover the warehouses where some of the oldest pieces are stored, to follow the history and the manufacture of the floats. The dozens and dozens of colorful figurines on display will give you an idea of what Mardi Gras madness is like for the locals. Note that a free shuttle service is offered to get there.

Super cool, you get to see the real floats up close and learn a lot about them. There's even a shuttle service! 100% worth it, took about an hour.

We had to call a couple times to confirm the free shuttle but it was convenient! The short video in the beginning of the tour was a bit dated. The tour guide was excellent! It was interesting to learn about the history of Mardi Gras. The king camp sample and the back patio river view was a nice bonus. You can get a discount on Groupon.

This place is very interesting but when it's raining and this is supposed to be inside, I was not expecting to get drenched inside the warehouse as much money that goes into this place get a roof that doesn't leak everywhere. I love the idea of this place but Def is dengy and needs work. The shuttle folks are not nice and will not even wait for you .

So much fun and so many props to see! The tour was interesting and informative! The short video at the beginning was not boring at all. Also, you get a delicious piece of King cake at the beginning of the tour!

Really cool tour. I never really understood what went into making parade floats and objects. I would highly recommend it.
