Wordless Wednesday! July 14, 2021


Bastille Day, July 14, which is a national holiday in France, 
celebrates the actions of a mob of Frenchmen, 
tired of the rule of their king, who stormed a prison
 to get weapons and free prisoners. 
It marked the start of the French Revolution.
 Vive la France!

    I wasn't aware that none of the Bastille is left and there is only a monument erected where it used to sit. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

I love comments and will attempt to reply to each one. However, lately I have been getting "Unknown" comments that are linked to some sort of web page. I will never open this sort of comment and will immediately mark as spam. I am not interested in opening something that could be detrimental to my blog security etc. Never have enjoyed hackers! Thanks!
