Bastille Day



Here is the 12th century Templar Church in Luz Saint Sauveur. It was also the site of the town's Bastille Day festivities.



I think this photo speaks for itself. Or rather, the mustache does.



Monsieur le Maire reading his speech.



A Basque choir singing the national anthem.

The chorus:


Aux armes, citoyens !

To arms, citizens!

Formez vos bataillons !

Form your battalions!

Marchons, marchons !

Let's march, let's march!

Qu'un sang impur

May a tainted blood

Abreuve nos sillons !

Soak our furrows!

Aux armes, citoyens !

To arms, citizens!

Formons nos bataillons !

Let us form our battalions!

Marchons, marchons !

Let us march, let us march!
