Happening today: Bastille Day in West Hollywood
Bonjour, chers amis.
No sense in storming the Bastille yet. Best to wait until Monday, July 14, when the French really celebrate the toppling of their ancien regime and the birth of the modern French republic. Meanwhile, there are so many ancillary perks to be enjoyed during this holiday weekend. Buttery French food, civilized games of boules, lovely wine plus the energizing spirit of révolution.
Today, West Hollywood Park is the locale of this year's official L.A. Bastille Day Festival. There will be fireworks, music, even French waiters, who, laden with trays of food and vin rouge will race against one another. All will transpire under the watchful eye of the Consulate General of France in Los Angeles. From noon until 10 p.m.
