On June 21 all over France 'La fete de la musique' is celebrated and it starts in the evening continuing well into the early morning hours. It is the shortest day of the year and in Sweden usually Midsummer was celebrated this night. (Now practical Swedes celebrate it on the following Friday.)
Yesterday the weather was a little on the grey side in Paris and the night seemed not the shortest because of the clouds but that did not interfere with all the musicians who took the occasion to just perform wherever there was an audience.
We chose to start the evening with a dinner in La Coupole.
(http://www.flobrasseries.com/coupoleparis/en/) where they serve traditional French food: Indian curry served by Indians.....
Afterwards we took the Metro to TROCADERO to see the Eiffel tower lit up. How festive with the twinkling of the lights at 23.00. Good idea to go there and we were not the only one having this thought!
