Today, the 14th July, is the French National Holiday (la fête nationale française), which we call Bastille Day.
Here's a video of the fireworks display in Carcassonne 2012.
It is very good footage (only 2 minutes to give you a taste) but nothing like being there in person with the
beautiful colors, the sounds of the rockets taking off, the percussion
of the soundwaves striking your body, the oohs and ahs of the crowd...
Good stuff. The French can really put on a show :)
We will definitely be having Pastis for our sundowner this evening.
So it goes... Whoosh... Whee... Bang... Pop-a-dee-pop-a-dee-pop... Vive La France!
