Liberté !


On Independence Day in the United States, the 4th of July (1776), I just had to post a photo from the equivalent celebration in France, le quatorze juillet, the 14th of July (1789).  Last year the celebration in Amboise was a little wet (note the umbrellas), but it didn't seem dampen anyone's spirits.

    1. Yes, we did the same thing in North Carolina (and Virginia) for many years before we moved here. It's great fun on either side of the pond.

    1. Merci, Anne. J'espère que cette année sera un peu plus sec !
