Bastille Day



Vive la Revolution!

Today is a French national Holiday commemorating the Fete de la Federation and the storming of the Bastille. Its one of my favorite holidays, not only because of the rich history, but also because of the wonderful fireworks performance that is held behind the Eiffel Tower.

Coincidentally, I happen to be reading a book that concerns the time period. It is called The Red Necklace by Sally Gardner. I must say I loved the American cover just as much as the original for its wit.
