Vive la France!

Tomorrow in France, our friends across the pond celebrate their national independence day. Every year on the 14th of July, the French commemorate the beginning of the French Revolution and the storming of the Bastille. In Paris this holiday known as Bastille Day opens with an elaborate military parade that marches across the city. The day ends with an incredible display of fireworks, music and lights at the Eifel Tower. It is really quite a spectacular experience.

Want to celebrate Bastille Day in your house? 


Bonjour Breakfast

Start your morning with a traditional French crepe – tell the kids that “crepe” is just a fancy French word for pancake and they’ll gobble it up! Try this easy Epicurious recipe. Make it  even yummier by adding fresh fruit. 


Read a French Classic 

Tomorrow FarFaria publishes The Hunchback of Notre Dame. It’s not only a great classic tale, but also a great human story. 


Transport to Paris

In years past you have been able to live stream the magnificent Eifel Tower fireworks. Rumor has it that this year you can enjoy the 2014 show live on the Que Faire A Paris? website. Just tune in at 11PM Paris time and brace yourself for 35 minutes of awesomeness!


Happy Bastille Day everyone!
