Not all carnival festivities are celebrated in the days up to Mardi Gras! Basel in Switzerland does it one week later.

LIST OF FEATURES
INTRODUCTION
Magazine features consist of photos plus an article (or in some cases only large captions). We can deliver texts in five languages.

This list shows features we have uploaded to our website. These can be shipped within days, by DVD, ftp or download.

A lot of features have yet to be uploaded and therefore are not shown in this list. Such topics can be found as bold items in the stocklist countries, regions & cities.

HOW THIS LIST WORKS
Behind each feature topic you find two kinds of links:

•[photos] = All photos being part of this feature.

•[summaries in English, Français, Deutsch] = This is what this list is about: a summary plus excerpts of the text, in the languages mentioned. If it gives you a taste for more, please contact us and ask for the full text.

All photos are digital. All copyrights are reserved.
