Bastille Day
Update: the official video of the fireworks is up now (note: reload page if the video doesn't play).
Feu d'artifice du 14 juillet 2011 : l'intégrale par mairiedeparis
This year's Bastille Day fireworks show just ended. I remembered the crowds from last year and how you had to get there hours ahead to get a decent place, so I decided to watch the show from home this time around.
Disclaimer: my dinky camera doesn't like the night so, out of 50+ shots, I only got 4 decent ones.
The show lasted a good half hour. Here's a clip of the last minute of the show:
Call me a nerd but I thought the most interesting part of the whole thing was the very end where you can really notice how it takes at least a good 3 or 4 seconds for the sound to get to you. By the way, the people hollering are my French neighbors on my street, who are normally very quiet.

There goes the neighborhood...
New Starbucks in the neighborhood. As if Paris doesn't already have enough cafés. Well, at least it wasn't a McDonald's...
