14 Juillet

Today we were invited to a reception at the French Embassy in Prague.

Food, drinks, and a speech. Even the Czech Prime Minister was there; and so were we!! Many french living in the Czech Rep though...

My baby and the boys enjoying the reception.

The 14th July symbolizes the end of the Monarchy and the beginning of what is now called the First French Republic. The Bastille, a prison at the time, was stormed on July 14, 1789. This event came to represent the end of the king's power and the transfer of power to the people.
