Day Sixteen & Seventeen: Bal Des Pompiers & La Fête Nationale

Sixteen: Bal Des Pompiers
Every year the night before La Fête Nationale, the firemen hold a party for the community! This involves hot firemen dancing! It was really fun! They had a dance floor at their station and mini bars! Everyone was just having a good time! 




Day Seventeen: La Fete Nationale 
It rained early in the morning and during the parade. We were lucky that by mid-evening everything was cleared up for the time being. My little group and I went and got sandwich stuff and snacks and planned a picnic dinner on the Eiffel Tower lawn! It was SO MUCH FUN! We waited there for a few hours and hung out until the firework show! It seriously was amazing and a once in a lifetime experience. When the show was over, there were thousands of people leaving, so the streets were filled with people. Cars were stuck and metros were full. We walked a little ways until we were able to find a metro with less people! It was amazing!
