La Fête Nationale/ Bastille Day

Bonjour! Students’ taste-buds were tantalised in July with a sale of authentic French pâtisseries from the wonderful That Place Bakery in Belmont. Mais oui! We shared these delicious delicacies to celebrate La Fête Nationale, or Bastille Day, which commemorates the storming of the Bastille prison in Paris on 14 July 1789, the event which marked the start of the French Revolution. ‪

This year we were tempted by croissants, pains au chocolat, lemon tarts, choux buns, mille feuilles, canelés and raspberry brûlées. ‪Oh là là! C'est magnifique! Miam miam!
