Bastille Day

Bastille Day in France and everyone was out celebrating last night. My friend Annie and I joined the thousands of spectators who lined the quays and the squares to watch this annual event celebrated all over France. We both agreed that no one puts on a fireworks display quite like the French.  The view from Vieux Lyon was particularly magnificent, having as its backdrop the glorious Basjlique de Fourvière with a cheeky sliver of moon playfully hovering above. Throughout the display and at the end, the crowd spontaneously burst into applause.

 

It is all very French and all very wonderful.  Vive la France.
