Paris - France
Happy Bastille Day (14 July 1789)
Je me trompe ou il commence à faire plus chaud ici?
Jouyeux quatorze juillet everyone!
Original image from La Guirlande (1919)
Break out the rosé, it’s Bastille Day!
And while we are on the topic of France, here’s another French word: cliché. As in, I need something about France for Bastille day so here is yet another image from Gazette du bon ton.
I guess I could find better clichés than this lovely trocolore bouquet (the tricolore being the nickname for the flag of France) from tome 2 of the 1914 Gazette du bon ton.
See all things France in our digital library, including art, aeronautics, fashion, children’s books, and, alas, colonialism :/
Happy 14th of July, French National Day ! May the liberty, equality and fraternity be with you #FRESHANDFRENCH2K14
(take that America can you feel all that EQUALITY)
Joyeux 14 juillet!
To celebrate, here is the Garde Républicaine during the military parade on the Champs Élysées. Source.
Un bon 14 Juillet à toutes les Françaises, tous les Français et mêmes aux Francophiles! Happy Bastille’s Day to all the French and Francophiles! :)
Remember that Bastille’s Day commemorates the break of the prison La Bastille by the French revolutionaries and celebrates the anniversary of the French Revolution. :)
Happy Bastille Day!
Joyeux 14 juillet!
