“Au quatorze juillet, à la lueur des lampions, on danse sans arrêt au son de l´accordéon dans les rues.” While contrary to Francis Lemarque in his chanson À Paris, I have not seen people dancing in the streets, the national holiday is a festive moment. All Paris comes together to watch the fireworks. What a great chance to laugh with friends and meet new faces. These photos have been taken from the Pont Alexandre III.
