Bastille Day!

If you've never caught this French celebration, you must. The show is stunning. Not quite like us Americans are used to on Fourth of July, Bastille Day isn't a parade of high school marching bands and baton twirlers, but a showing of military might.

The grand finale, apparently a first for the 14th of July, was seven parachuters carrying flags of France, the EU and the UN who landed in the center of the celebration.
