It’s the French National Day tomorrow. July 14, called also as the Bastille Day because it was the day the Bastille was stormed and French revolutions’ beginning was marked. A nation’s independence day was ushered after the attack.
Well, frankly speaking, I really cherish this time, cos it fondly brings back memories of our festival, Diwali, in India. Infact today as evening sets, one can hear cries and loud noises of fireworks lighting up the sky dead-brightly. Its a breathtaking view to watch. Had I been in Paris, I could have personally viewed the amazing celebrations taking place near the Eiffel with a parade in the Arc de Triomphe. But anyways, after a bit of googling, I found out that Carcassone, a city not very far from my place, Montpellier, boasts of one of the grand spectacles of Bastille day, with the grand fireworks starting in the evening near the banks of River Aude near the Cite.
I really wish I could goto Carcassone, but again, it depends a lot on whether I am able to complete a long procrastinated task of plotting some boring graphs(who I wonder will gonna help me in long run in what way..!;))by early morning and then again, if i am really willing to shell my Euros, and simultaneously find any good soul to accompany me....Even If this wish does not materialize, I shall try going to Place de la Comedie nearby, in the evening to view some bit of celebrations there..Now, have I talked to you about the majestic Place de la Comedie folks? ;)
More to come .keep on reading.
Hoping and waiting for the best. Till then will keep you posted of tomorrow
Bonne Nuit
Happy French National Day..;)
