Bastille day 2005
Thursday, July 14, 2005 Posted by Eric
Today is July 14 (Le 14 juillet) and it is the anniversary of the French Revolution. Why is it also called Bastille day? Simply because the revolution is supposed to have started the day a group of Parisians marched towards a prison named La Bastille and freed all the prisoners. If you want to know more, I suggest you click here !
Since then, there has been many celebration forms but nowadays it's more of less always the same: little balls around the city on Bastille day's eve - called Les bals des pompiers (firemen balls), because they take place in fire stations. There is also a giant firework and... a celebration of the French army on the morning of Bastille day. Of course, this takes place on the champs Elysees, as you can see from the photo I have taken on my television screen this morning (yes, it's also a holiday so I felt lazy today!)
Special info for my Brazilian readers: as 2005 is the year of Brazil in France (remember this picture?) Brazil has been widely associated to the celebrations. Your President Lula attended the march (some of the Brazilian regiments even marched on the Champs Elysees) and there has been a huge Brazilian concert yesterday evening at La Bastille square.

Good post. How did you manage to take such a great picture from your TV screen? I also wrote something on July 14 on my blog today, even though I live in the USA.

ouais, on en a pas mal entendu parler ici, a vrai dire. ca a fait un grand splash. ils etaient tres fiers d'avoir un regiment qui defilait en premier, sur les champs. les bresiliens sont tres fiers de leur pays, mais ils ont aussi un complexe d'inferiorite par rapport au "premier monde" (expression usuelle pour parler du monde occidental, qui demontre bien ce sentiment de faire partie du "tiers/ troisieme monde").
on parle beaucoup du president lula en ce moment, d'ailleurs, car ils viennent de decouvrir un MEGA circuit de corruption, et du coup c'est chaud pour lui. imaginez la scene, toutes les mairies et les etats ont des budgets de com, appels d'offre truques, budgets attribues a agence de pub qui reverse des pots de vin, pots de vin centralises dans la caisse du parti, puis redistribues mensuellement aux deputes des petits partis de la coalition, pour qu'ils restent dans la coalition. c'est la democratie a la bresilienne...

Juste pour vous dire que les prisonniers
dont on parle étaient très peu nombreux et extrêmement privilégiés (droit aux visites, meubles personnels....).Leur nombre pouvait d'après ce que j'ai pu lire se compter sur les doigts d'une main.
Quelques uns ont été massacré, de même que le personnel de la prison.
Les révolutionnaires n'ont pas pris la Bastille pour libérer les prisonniers (qui , vous l'avez vu étaient des privilégiés) mais pour s'emparer des 30 000 fusils qui y étaient stocké.
