Bastille Day 14th July!

We visited in Cherbourg an ancient nuclear submarine. This is Mr L you can see how narrow it is! The stairs are terrible! “Cite de la mer”
“Le Redoutable » submarine.

Our navy!

Hello friends!

This morning I am watching the military parade and at the same time I can hear the planes from the base a few kms from here coming back from Paris.
35 countries are participating this year.
It’s a tradition to watch the parade and go to the fireworks, but this year some of them are cancelled due to heat and fires.




35 Nations.


Reminds me of my father we were watching  the parade together each year.
Good day to you!

  1. Hello Catherine, as I see you are celebrating the anniversary of the revolution beautifully: well organized and spectacular. You see all on TV, you don't have to stand in crowd.
    I always watch the Budapest programs on TV on our national holiday on August 20th. We have been to Budapest in person several times. M. really loves being in our capital at that time. Last year I didn't have the strength to travel there, but he went alone and participated in all the festive programs. He has already become an Austro-Hungarian.:)
    Relax, watch TV and endure the heat, AC will help you with this.
    I saw that there will be a France-Spain match today, I will probably watch it.
    With love. Éva

  3. Happy Bastille Day! The USA is probably not participating this year since we are currently not a good neighbor nation. We hope for better international relations in the not too distant future.
