Paris Traveler asked in TravelFranceParis · 1 decade ago

Did you have a good time in Paris at the Bastille Day celebration?

I heard there were huge crowds and a big parade on the Champs Elysees and wonder if it was a fun kind of day.....I was dinged about 20 points because I tried to ask this question in French twice. Go figure............how do you get on the French site?

    It was fun but the crowds at the Champs Elysees were CRAZY. If you don't like big crowds it was very uncomfortable. Also, that night I went to Sacre Coeur..there was a concert and thousands of people. It was way too crowded, sort of like Times Square on New Year's Eve. I liked the festivity but not the wall to wall people.

    The evening of the thirteenth is a blast! there are events everywhere. be careful inspite of the indisputable fact that, there's a great form of bewilderment around the city and ot could be a splash frightening. The morning of the 14th, there's a parade or a minimum of replaced into whilst i replaced into there. it particularly is extraordinarily cool, yet a splash early greater in case you partied the evening till now. The evening of the 14th, there are fireworks on the eiffel tower. They have been teh terrific ones I even have ever considered in my existence. Having the fireworks interior the history of the Eiffel tower with french song enjoying is an awsome adventure. regrettably inspite of the indisputable fact that, i think of youwill detect a great form of places closed, in spite of the shown fact that it particularly is a exciting time to be there for.

    You just go to the bottom of the page and click on the "France" button.

    Someone actually complained because you asked your question in French? Good grief. I auppose it is a violation of the CG's but that seems a bit much. Surely it wasn't in this section. I don't recall seeing any questions in French.

    It was massive, and it was a great time. I have never been overseas before, and it was fascinating to see them celebrate their Independence day.

    The fireworks at the Eiffel was incredible as well.
