Bastille Day: Fountains to Fireworks
Quote de jour
It's Bastille Day or as it's known in France le 14 juillet, a kind of 4th of July national holiday with parades, fireworks and some serious partying. I'm mad for all things French and wish I were there. The Jews have an expression "next year in Jerusalem". Francophiles like me, I guess can say "next year in Paris". Meanwhile, it's fountains, fountains everywhere I've been recently. I spotted the one above last week in White Plains. The one below was taken in Paris a few years ago. Theirs are better. Vive la France.
Here's a link to the festivities LIVE http://www.14juillet2009.com
The French do spectacular fireworks on this day in honor of the beginning of the French revolution. I can't imagine a more stunning backdrop than the Eiffel Tower for fireworks. This is older but still stunning. Enjoy!

oh la la, le 14 juillet, how well I know it. My first boyfriend and I met on 1e 14 juillet years ago in Amsterdam. We were both from Montreal. He sent me postcards for years after we broke up.

I wonder if I can find fireworks live online in Paris?
