Did you have a good time in Paris at the Bastille Day celebration?

Question

I heard there were huge crowds and a big parade on the Champs Elysees and wonder if it was a fun kind of day.....I was dinged about 20 points because I tried to ask this question in French twice. Go figure............how do you get on the French site?

Answer 1

It was massive, and it was a great time. I have never been overseas before, and it was fascinating to see them celebrate their Independence day.

The fireworks at the Eiffel was incredible as well.

Answer 2

I am from france i when i was little i loved the parades on the Champs Elysees! Especially with Sarcozy as President Im sure it was such a grand celebration! There is so much pride and spirit really a great day! but of i course i have a bias! =)

Answer 3

log into www.yahoo.fr instead of yahoo.com...

It was fun.  I went to the fireworks and drank a bunch.

Answer 4

You just go to the bottom of the page and click on the "France" button.

Someone actually complained because you asked your question in French? Good grief. I auppose it is a violation of the CG's but that seems a bit much. Surely it wasn't in this section. I don't recall seeing any questions in French.

Answer 5

It was fun but the crowds at the Champs Elysees were CRAZY. If you don't like big crowds it was very uncomfortable. Also, that night I went to Sacre Coeur..there was a concert and thousands of people. It was way too crowded, sort of like Times Square on New Year's Eve. I liked the festivity but not the wall to wall people.

Answer 6

im not sure about champs elysees but we went to the pompiers ball the night before until the early hours and what a great night we had.
