[LRflex] Bastille Day
Bastille Day commemorates the storming of the Bastille prison on 14 July 1789, which marked the beginning of the French Revolution.
Just as Canada Day (July 1) celebrates the founding of Canada, and July 4th marks the Independence of the United States, July 14th, is honoured as the start of the modern French Republic.
For myself, I will always remember the spectacular fireworks over the Place de la Concorde (Paris) on a hot, July 14th, 1964. 

So, to all the Frenchmen on our list, Happy Fête Nationale !
