or commonly known in english - happy bastille day ! 🇫🇷 🇫🇷 🇫🇷 🇫🇷
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 :/
