Our cruise to Belgium was great fun, and we had a very pleasant experience in the boatyard, which doesn't happen often, but now we are back home in Paris, and enjoying life in our port. This is what we did last night to celebrate le quatorze juillet (the fourteenth of July), France's national holiday.
Friends from the port and from town gathered together at our local firehouse to dance and drink Champagne au Bal des Pompiers.
