Quatorze Juillet! - Bastille Day



Military Parade
of Bastille Day
2008


The parade involves around 7,000 soldiers 
(5,000 on foot, the rest are crew members or cavalrymen), 
300 vehicles, 240 horses and more than 80 planes and helicopters.



And, a celebration for me as today makes 
4 years of daily photos on Paris and Beyond
without missing a day!

A special thanks to all of you who follow my blog 
and to Virginia (Paris Through My Lens) 
who helped me "birth this baby" four years ago.

Le Défilé Militaire



Republican Guard Cavalry Regiment
Military Parade
(quatorze juillet)


The uniforms were perfect, 
from the elegant helmets to the rich leather boots.
The horses were exquisitely groomed and trained.
There will be 250 horses in the celebrated parade on Monday
