Best Bastille Day celebration I've ever been to.
Huge flattop barge moored on the canal in front with charcoal grill going (free dogs and burgers), band, and dance floor.
Free roasted/salted in-the-shell peanuts.
PAR-TAY!

Just ignore all that 'Freedom Fries' idiocy from ten years ago. They were f*****g Republicans for God's sake.
Intelligent people know who their real friends are.
A tip of the chapeau to France!
