Sunday was Bastille Day. If you don't know, it's a French national holiday that commemorates the storming of the Bastille prison on July 14, 1789, a key event at the beginning of the French Revolution.
It symbolized the end of the monarchy, the birth of the sovereign nation, and eventually led to the establishment of the First French Republic.
Since I don't blog on Sunday's I missed it, so I thought I would make up for it today with some tasty and cool French tunes.
OK, so Whyte Horses are actually from Manchester, England, and MUNYA is based out of Montreal, Québec. So sue me. Go pull out all your Édith Piaf records if you are that bothered about cultural purity. Me, I'm in L'Amour with all of today's selections, so there. Besides,
Quand On a Pas ce Que L’on Aime, Il Faut Aimer ce Que L’on a!
Vive la France!
