Does anyone know of any good Bastille Day celebrations near Compiegne this year? We will be staying on the outskirts of town for a few days before we drive to CDG to fly home.
I should mention that we were in Honfleur a few years ago for Bastille Day and it was a hoot.....people running up a greased pole suspended over the harbor trying to grab a flag at the end! A half dozen young people tried for an hour to do it, falling into the water, until one finally did. To celebrate, all contestants jumped into the cold water. You can't make this stuff up!
There was a carousel too, as well as fireworks. Of course.
