Ahead of the Paris Olympic Games, the French Embassy on Hilcrest Avenue called together friends, delegates and Francophiles in all forms for a local celebration of Bastille Day. The 235-year-old tradition commemorates the start of the French Revolution and the people’s liberation of the Bastille. Handing out red, white and blue berets and toasting champagne, La Fête Nationale displayed the best French diplomacy had to offer.
