Fireworks In Pais for Bastille Day?
It is still early but I have been watching the www.abcparislive.com site to see if perhaps there will be firworks near the Eiffel Tower. Anyone have any information?

They always have fireworks on this holiday in Paris. It is the other holidays where sometimes they have but usually not (ie, New Years).

Yes there will be fireworks. The official time that is starts is " when it becomes dark" So maybe another 30 mins or so?

I'll keep checking the web cam then. Here is a web page with some pictures of fireworks on/over the Eiffel Tower in case we miss them.

When you go to the www.abcparislive.com
website, click on Eiffel Cam Zoom 2 for a better view. It is announcing special fireworks but it doesn't say when.

And by now they must be finished. I hope you had a better view than the year we were recommended to go stand on the Pont Neuf. Couldn't see much of anything except a very few very high ones.
