Bastille Day is this Saturday – but you knew that right? The French national holiday commemorates the 1790 Fête de la Fédération that was held on the first anniversary of the storming of the Bastille on July 14th the year prior. It’s a day that is celebrated with parades, picnics, fireworks and great shows of nationalism, not unlike our 4th of July. Last year at this time, I was deep in the Gascon countryside, celebrating a truly unique US-French Bastille Day BBQ courtesy of my friend Kate and a whole crew of mostly American friends at her lovely home, Camont. It was a fantastic day.
