Based on history, it started first in Nice in 1294 A.D. The Comte de Provence started going to Nice for the carnivals. Some of the records say that even masquerades, jugglers and balls were already part of the festivities.

The words Mardi Gras mean Fat Tuesday in French. The fact that the carnival name is French is proof for some that the carnival began in France. The day is also called Shrove Tuesday which means confessing one's sins and getting absolution.he days from Sunday, Monday to Tuesday was called Shrovetide. It's possible that the practice began here. After the festivities, people would confess their sins and prepare for Lent.
