14 juillet 2022, fête nationale

The day a mob stormed an old prison, Bastille Saint Antoine on July 14th, 1789, and liberated... 7 inmates. We celebrate this day since 1790, as it means the end of royalty. Mainly with fireworks. I took the photo from my balcony, 5 km away. Problem: immigrants and asylum seekers were camping in the park where it was supposed to happen. Not a problem for the municipality: send in the police! Hurray, we had our beloved firework! The campers are now back, waiting for their paperwork to come through. Takes years in France...
