Happy Bastille Day!! What is Bastille Day? It is France’s Independence Day. I missed not being able to celebrate the 4th of July at home, but with the red, white and blue everywhere in Paris, and a spectacular firework show at the Eiffel Tower, I don’t feel the loss quite so badly.
Other than it being Bastille Day, we still where able to do a handful of things in Paris. It was like movie scene day. First we stopped at the Cathedral of Notre Dame so we could check out the inside, then we hiked to reach the Sacred Heart Basilica which sits on a hill that over looks Paris. The views of the city were splendid.
Hiking down the hill we made our way to the Moulin Rouge. It was just fun to see. After that we walked down to the Paris Opera house where Phantom was filmed. The opera house was spectacular! It is one of my favorite things I’ve see thus far.
If that wasn’t enough eye candy from Paris, we walked over to the Eiffel Tower, or at least as close as we could get, to enjoy the fireworks. It was amazing to see all the people crowded around the tower in celebration of Bastille Day.
