Eiffel Tower: 14 Juillet 2014


Here's her 'parcours' in French.

Will the weather come and spoil the great departure of "Hermione" tonight? While fifty technicians have been hard at work since Thursday to install the sound and light along the Charente, the forecast says high winds Saturday night.

On some weather websites, the forecasts are for 30 to 60 km / h winds. "Artistically, it is certain that the fireworks will be affected by the wind. We will be ready on Saturday morning," says David Proteau, artistic director at Lacroix-Ruggieri.

The 100,000 spectators expected in Rochefort will have their fingers crossed.
