On July 14th in Paris, this is the same as your 4th july... In France , there is some fire in the sky, but nothing amazing. The best is maybe to go on the champs-Elysées, early in the morning, but it may rain, as usually, so i'll say there is nothing very special, at this time, except that many shops will be shutting down... The only great thing is the planes flying over paris, and i guess at night some good party will be organised. For the love parade (not really love parade,but gay pride), there is good music, but too much people in the streets and the metro...Well good luck, if ou want other informations, Pm me ! ------------------
