I am very disappointed, not to say shocked, that nobody has yet found the solution to my quiz #1). #2) nobody will find out I am afraid and that's ok, but #1) is really too easy ! Anyway, as nobody suggested a solution yet, let's assume that the reason why the new very dynamic French President sponsored a big free rock concert in Paris today on the Champs de Mars by La Tour, is the celebration of today's stage win of Le Tour by a German. Performers were Nelly Furtado, Laura Pausini, Tokio Hotel, Bob Sinclair and French star Michel Polnareff. Besides me and the President there were 599998 other people to celebrate this so I just read, plus it was live on TV. A bit of Panem and Circenses, but I should probably be more positive. After all it was a great party that many people enjoyed.
I mainly went to see the subsequent fireworks, offered each year by the town of Paris. It was quite spectacular. The Eiffel Tower keeps its magic for me, each time I go.... This was at the same time a nice personal (temporary) good-bye to Paris, as I am leaving Tuesday to start my 4 months stage in the South-West of France.
Vive la France !
Place de la Bastille - 1798 - die Erstürmung der Bastille - französischer Nationalfeiertag - a shame, daß nicht ein Franzose gestern gewonnen hat ... Zweite Frage - vielleicht in Las Vegas und später dann in New York mit little sister...
