Bastille Day 2011 had a distinctly American flavour to it! The theme of the traditional 'bal populaire' or people's ball held on Notre-Dame market square was line dancing! Here on stage Versailles' 'les talons sauvages' line dancing association. There's an organ pipe of sorts on Artsy Versailles.Le bal du 13/7 au soir place du marché Notre-Dame était très américain ! Soirée country et line dancing animée par "les talons sauvages", l'association country de Versailles. Il y a un orgue étrange sur Artsy Versailles.
merci , j'ai rectifie le code pour mon diapo.
ReplyDeleteTu as danse le quadrille , a la place d'un chachacha ;))
Danse de country, que j'arrive (grosso/modo) a maîtriser
Sounds like a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteDid you dance, Ciel? On one of your visits to the USA, you must have learned how.
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun was had Ciel, somehow I don't think of line dancing when I think of France, maybe more like the can-can!!
ReplyDeleteNice bolo tie!
ReplyDeleteIt is still Bastille Day here so I am not too late to say Happy Bastille Day!
ReplyDeleteLine dancing in France? Please, stop before it is too late!
ReplyDeleteIt makes me thing of of the time,many years ago, when our family went to Euro Disney. The rodeo clown for our section (who, as it happened, was from Kansas City) picked me to represent our section is the shootout with Annie Oakley. Buffalo Bob asked me in French where I was from. I said something like "Zhe sweeze de Saynt Louis, Mizzouree!" "Oh shit, an American" Buffalo Bob said under his breath. Annie won the contest.
This does surprise me.
ReplyDeleteHow cool event there and your pictures are great!
ReplyDeleteLéia
J'aimerais trop danser country!Mais ici, c'est considéré comme ringard..alors j'ecoute juste la musique!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a little bit of everything.
ReplyDeleteWell, you sure caught me by surprise with this one. Line dancing in Notre-Dame market square?
ReplyDeleteHow strange for the French national holiday to have an American theme. Somehow that just doesn't jive for me.
ReplyDeleteHow curious on a national holiday!
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of my gym class where we learned to line-dance! Looks fun :D
ReplyDeleteI think they are both neat!!
ReplyDeleteI can't put the two together, this whole western theme in France!
ReplyDeleteI agree with EG... huh? I often confuse line dancing with square dancing... used to do a lot of the latter when I sang in a semi-prof choir in my teens... :-)
ReplyDeleteOn ne sera pas depayse quand on ira en France!! Et en plus a Versailles? Un comble.
ReplyDeletefun that you found the spirit of cowboys in Franch
ReplyDeleteThis is really strange, but I am sorry to announce you that the theme for our next Effetto Venezia is... France!
ReplyDeleteLine dancing on Bastille Day? How curious! I like country music but I will proudly announce that I have never line danced -- however, I find it so captivating that whenever I see it, I have to watch.
