Paris Party Time!! – Annual Bastille Day Celebrations and Firemen’s Balls –

July 10, 2016 by RalphM

Every year after the fireworks and Bastille Day celebrations the fun continues at various Fire Stations around Paris.

Bastille Day is July 14, 2016. Celebrated in Paris with a parade along the Champs-Elysées http://bit.ly/1LWsh0Q and a grand fireworks show near the Eiffel Tower and the Trocadéro gardens http://bit.ly/29nUCEr .

Fireworks: Start at 11pm for about 35 min – subject to weather. Best place to watch is from the middle of the Champs de Mars just south of the tower – metro line 8, stop La Tour-Maubourg or Ecole Militaire and walk to where avenue du Général Margueritte meets the center on the Champs de Mars. If you go with a group, go early [3pm], take a large blanket to stake out your space – umbrella for shade, lots of food, water and wine in plastic bottle [glass not allowed], reading matter, games – it will be a long wait until 11pm! Plenty of food vendors and toilets within reach. Once the show starts be ready to leave. The police will direct the crowds to various metro stations – it will be a zoo but you’ll get a train eventually. A great alternative is to go up to Sacre Cœur – again you will have to be early to get best spot but it’s a easier location to reach & exit. http://bit.ly/29twL7J

Of course if you are really in the party mood then you will head to one of the many Bals des Pompiers [Fireman’s Ball]. These are parties at various fire stations around town on July 13 and 14 July see here for the list of locations http://bit.ly/1CWzOaN . The fun starts at 9 pm and lasts until about 4am. Be ready for champagne, music, dancing and a small ‘donation’ to enter. Ladies be prepared for a kiss or 2 from one or more of the friendly pompiers – they are some of the most fit and handsome men in France! Enjoy
