Happy Bastille Day

 

("Happy" seems a bit weird given how things ultimately played out, but still...)

Vive la Révolution! 

Tears for Notre-Dame

Like the rest of the world, we watched in horror today as this magnificent place burned. I studied it in minute detail on the way to my art history degree, and when I was finally able to see it in person, I shed a few tears. Today, I shed many tears in sadness. 

Bonjour! Happy Bastille Day!

 Paris!

And closer to home, our neighborhood shop (Maison en Provence), which is  full of French and French-inspired things (run by French people), celebrated Bastille Day on Saturday.

Oui oui!
