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. I forgot to bring my camera so I'll show you some large firework photos I found on the internet.
