I understand, you all think I was there. Just because I am totally fluent in French and am of a certain age, does not mean I can give you a firsthand account of the storming of the Bastille. I wasn’t there.
I grew up in Seattle. The Bastille is in Paris. The newspaper accounts were scarce and, in those days, very right wing. Apparently Marie said something to the line of “Peut-être les assholes should mange gâteaux.” And the proletariat got pissed and stormed a prison. That is really all I know.
But let’s join the French is celebrating this day!
