14th of July - Bastille day (P II) by Inguuna
At the evening prepare going to Champ-de-Mars or somewhere near Eiffel tower. Actually I don?t know if fireworks are usually there, but have heard that near hear. We choose to go to Champ-de-Mars. Despite we were there hour before, everything was full here and it seemed that people were gathering here from midday to take the best place. The show longed one hour. It was fantastic with music, lights and fire, and on the center was Eiffel tower. I don?t know who was playing the music, but knowing that Jean-Michel Jarre is from France, and he?s very famous with his shows, I might think that he had helped there. I hadn?t see in my life such grandiose show, and it was something magic. Eiffel tower sparkled in all colors, also in French flag colors. I suggest you to take with you water, because if it?s very hot day, the dust from square get up, when those large people crowds leave the Eiffel tower. Also prepare for long walking, because nearest metro stations will be packed, and try to choose unpopular metro routes to get home or to hotel.
And the last thing - it was definitely worth to see!
