Bastille Day in Paris kicked off with a parade down the Champs Élysées...
As it got closer to 11pm, massive crowds (even larger than I saw on New Year's Eve) started to form around the Eiffel Tower and on the bridges for a clear view of the Trocadéro, where the fireworks would be displayed. The video I shot of the fireworks finale doesn't do the show justice. The whole show was about 30 minutes long with theatrical displays of music, lights and a tremendous amount of fireworks. It was the best fireworks display I've ever seen.
