Bastille Day
 

We will be in Paris with our 12 year old daughter in July and wanted to know people's experiences with Bastille Day (yes, fete nationale).<BR><BR>I've read that shops, museums, etc. close the day before and the day of the holiday, so what would poor American tourists do? Are there specific events, places, etc. that one should see/do during those days.<BR><BR>Thanx,

John,<BR>I brought two of many threads on the subject.<BR><BR>You will enjoy it, as will your daughter.

You're welcome Mari (is this Mari from San Diego - - hi! how are you?)<BR><BR>but geez, the typos (of mine)!!<BR><BR>I was trying to say "CITE" right here - - not "cute"...<BR>
