I'm afraid this year's celebrations in Paris have been a bit washed out.

It was raining buckets last night, so there were no "bal-musettes" or street dances.

Due to rain and a low ceiling this morning, there was no air force fly-past of the Arc de Triomphe.

The sun has just come out (at least momentarily) in the late afternoon, so the fireworks display at the Tour Eiffel may yet be salvaged.

Vive la révolution ! Vive la France !

the spring time
I love Paris in the fall
I love Paris in the summer when it sizzles
I love Paris in the winter when it drizzles

I love Paris every moment
Every moment of the year
I love Paris, why oh why do I love Paris
Because my love is here
