Watch: Parisians celebrate Chinese Lunar New Year and the Year of the Rabbit

Parisians enjoyed a colourful parade on Sunday to celebrate the Chinese Lunar New Year, marking the start of the Year of the Rabbit.

The traditional parade in Paris’ Asian quarter had been cancelled since 2019 because of COVID-19 restrictions.

The Lunar New Year is named after one of the 12 signs of the Chinese zodiac in a repeating cycle, with this year being the Year of the Rabbit.
