A French Affair in the Valley
A list of restaurants to visit to celebrate the French holiday Bastille Day.
Today is a day of revolution, of celebrating a fight for independence and an uprising of a new nation—but not in America. France is celebrating Bastille Day, a national holiday that commemorates the storming of the Bastille fortress prison and the beginning of the French Revolution. Yet we in the Valley don’t have to go overseas to participate in the celebration. Here are a list of local French restaurants offering specials and discounts to commemorate the day:
