TODAY is our National Day... Eiffel Tower : 330m. I've been to the top, the view over Paris is incredible at night...built in 1888.
300 workers built the tower, none died during construction.

Today is " French National Day " celebrated each year on July 14th.
It marks the anniversary of the fall of the Bastille, a medieval fortress and state prison in Paris, during the French Revolution in 1789.
The day is commemorated with various events, including a military parade in Paris and many war planes flying in the sky above the "Champs Elysées"... plus tonight, a gigantic fireworks display installed on the Eiffel towel.
Tonight in the town where I live will be a big fireworks in the sea...like many others towns in France.

The 14 July celebrations in Carcasonne were magnificent. All round the battlements were illuminated, and the Aude river lit up.

Whoa!

I shut down the NAS, router and wifi when our storm started. We were just sitting down to dinner, so it wasn't like we needed any of it for a while. :)
