I am such a sucker for fireworks ! I will be there - in the first row - nothing could keep me away from an event like that ! Firecrackers, anyone ??

I was reading that Newsletter this morning. Too bad, I will not be getting to Paris until the 11th. I'll totally miss it.

There are other very interesting things happening in September - the biennial antique show at the Grand Palais sounds interesting, the Valentino Show at Les Arts Decoratifs and Les Pops.

And there will open-air OPERA IN THE STREETS "Opéra des Rues" on the 5. 6. and 7. September in the 12. and 13. arrondissements.

A great opportunity to explore these 2 corners of Paris !
