In Paris today one of the favourite 's tourists part of the day is when the "Patrouille de France" flies over Paris . An incredible demonstration of the French army pilots skills!
Blue white and red fumes make brilliant drawings in the sky....very moving too! A magic moment ! I love to see all the troops as well all looking very proud in their uniforms, and explaining as well their every day task in the different parts of the world. A very special day!

We always try to be in France for Bastille Day but have failed this year.

Some of the best fireworks are in Versailles on the 13th outside the chateau and often from the roof! Very impressive... They do the 13th so people can also go to Paris on the 14th.... Double fun....

Hi Cath, you are in a great place there at Vendome. I spent a week there once touring the many chateaux. The big church is lovely and am sure you will enjoy tonight's celebrations. A great Les Routier on the N10 south just out of Vendome on your right.

We're in the mountains near Montesquieu-des-Alberes. Good view of the Med coast and all the pyrotechnic displays at the various resorts. Great night.

Thank you Dave for the info much appreciated!

Tonight was brilliant, all went to plan, but never have we ever seen so many folk attend a function as this and all was free !

The fireworks went off to music as you said Dave also a coloured background to the fireworks which were twenty minutes nonstop of colourful patterns of lights ..

Only one word would describe the event ...stupendous !

The best we have ever seen, will post some pics once home

I know Montesquieu well, I used to live just down the rd in Sorede. I almost bought a house in Montesquieu many years ago. Look out for the sanglier up there in the Alberes, they have young this time of year and get a bit grumpy.
