1. I'm ashamed

We celebrated Bastille Day last year, but this year we completely forgot. Damn!

For those who don't know, today (July 14) is Bastille Day. Now celebrate!

It was to celebrate 100 years of the Entente Cordiale. I hope they looked good - they do normally do a good parade.

4. Jeez, what a great picture

I'm guessing that is the Grenadier Guard in the foreground. They won their bearskin hats against Napoleon at Waterlow. I've seen the Arch up close and personal, but a long time ago, 1960.

6. They are coming back home

They occupied Aquitaine (South-West of France) during 400 years, they massively buy houses all over France and they parade in Paris.... Let's keep Joanne d'Arc to rest in peace in her ashtray ;)
