Today is France's national day, marking both the taking of the Bastille in 1789 and the Fête de la Fédération the following year, when King Louis XVI took a vow on the constitution in front of a crowd of 100,000 - the beginning of a short-lived constitutional monarchy.
It is celebrated by meals, dancing and fireworks throughout the country. Langourla, like many villages and towns, actually had its party on Saturday; others will be this weekend. For once, I actually remembered to take my camera and try some firework photos, so here is this blog's very own 14 July firework display!
