Janapo

I would like to come as well:)! Looking for new people here. Do you already have a time and place? xxx

Janapo

Hello PaulineSarah :)

I'm happy you would like to join us!

We didn't fix the place and time yet, but for parade for sure it will be early in the morning, Phil will write about it soon, till 14.07 we have still more than week so it's enough time ;)

After parade if it will be sunny as recently we can go for picnic, I also heard that near to Eiffel Tower may be some happening- but I have to check it

Any new ideas also are welcomed :)

Joanna

mansi4

Yup in the evening there would be fireworks.. at many locations the best being eifel tower...it would start around 10 and would be badly crowded so hv to reach there in time..

if u guys are ok.. can i invite few new frnds whom i met last weekdn only.. actually i m a veggei.. and i met a group of vegetarians frnds..so we would prefer veggei food..

phil69

I have to check this evening for the place and time to get the best place!

@mansi4: sure you can invite friends to come :D

Janapo

Phil so we waiting for your checking ;)

and mansi4 of course you can invite them! I don't eat meat on fridays so I would say I'm vegan once a week ;) you know in general we want to build a group of people who would like to spend sometime time together and have fun, no matter color of skin, religion, vegan or not... :)

Have a good day!

Joanna

So the military parade starts at 10am to 12pm and we have to arrive to the spot at least before 2 hours!

7.30am? at the champs elysee? so we can find the best spot?

the best spot, close to the arc de triomphe?

ready to be there at 7.30am?

don't forget to bring water, food sunscreen that will be a long sunny morning :D

Janapo

Hi!

So I will start to prepare my mentality to such early hour on free day! :)

But the place of meeting should be more clear, I will think about it and will write soon.

See you!

Have a nice weekend :)
