Bastille Day in France


Today, July 14th, is a National Holiday in France. Bastille Day, much like our Independence Day on July 4th. And much like our 4th of July celebration Bastille day was the end of the French Revolution and the people finally had say over how they wanted their country run. No more kinds and queens!! Just the fun fact for the day!

Paris is an great European city with much to feast your eyes and tounges on!! Ireland, however, is a magiacal and spritual place you will get into your blood and soul.
