Understanding Mardi Gras

Adam SAULNIER explains what the words Mardi Gras and Carnival mean in the history of Christianity. He also returns to the older role of the mask in the carnival tradition and tells the dramatic anecdote of the "Bal des ardents" linked to King Charles VI and which took place in 1393. Various illustrations accompany his remarks.
