Paris on Bastille Day - Tips?
Hi,
We'll be in Paris on Bastille Day. I'm thinking of going to Versailles in the morning and coming back for the fireworks at night in Paris. Bad idea? Ideas are welcome!
Thanks!

We were in Paris for Bastille Day on 2005. We actually went to Montmartre that day to avoid the area around the Champs Elyssee and Place de la Concorde. In the evening we had a really good dinner at le Petit Prince de Paris (near the Pantheon) and then planned on going over to watch the fireworks, but got waylaid by a fun street celebration in the Rue Mouffetard, and realised it was too late for the fireworks. But we had great fun anyway!
May I suggest that if you want to picnic on the Champ de Mars you get there quite early (I was told it gets very crowded), otherwise do book a restaurant if you want to eat somewhere nice. Have a good time!
