Today is the French national holiday, Bastille Day, which commemorates the storming of the Bastille (prison) in 1789. Here in Philly, the holiday is commemorated by gathering at Eastern State Peneteniary and throwing Tastykakes (local, much-loved pastries).

Aujourd'hui nous nous souvenons de la Bastille. Voici l'hymne nationale francaise. Vive la France!

I usually go to a local bar run by frenchmen and have a pernod & moules. Malheureusement, je n'aime pas le vin

The Bastille only had a handful of prisoners in it seven I think when it was "stormed". Watched a programme about Maximiien Robespierre the other evening fascinating.

This is true but this event in French history is renown for its symbolism.
