we started our day with an incredible breakfast at angelina (pictures here), watched the parade, strolled through the tuilieres gardens, visited the louvre, notre dame, isle st. louis, the marais neighborhood, and my very favorite museum in the world, the musee d'orsay.
after dinner, we followed the masses over to the eiffel tower with a bottle of wine to watch the fireworks. the show was incredible, and we had so much fun being a part of such a unique patriotic experience.
this beautiful stop motion video, "paris in motion", by photographer mayeul akpoovi captures a bit of the bastille day firework magic. you can watch it here.
