Not during the day, that goes along with French politeness, although I could really feel a buzz in the air. But I wonder if it was different in Paris, perhaps the votes were more divided? I am surprised that there wasn't more serious celebrating in the 6th (even though who are we kidding there are probably plenty of folks who are against Hollande's tax reforms there)--were you at the Bar du Marché by any chance?<br /><br />One thing I will say is that it always surprised me that on Bastille Day when the President heads down the Champs Elysée people don't cheer, they maybe, maybe clap politely but that is the maxi.

Glad that you won over the grumpy Herbman -- just in time for summer's bounty. <br /><br />It was so interesting in Paris last Sunday, you would hardly have known it was an election day. During the day as we walked the city we saw/heard very little related to the vote-- a couple "France Forte" posters for Sarkozy and nothing else. In the evening we met up with friends who recently relocated to Paris and had drinks on the terrace of a bar on rue de Buci... a brief cheer went up at 8pm when they called the election. Some girls went running down the street yelling something disparaging about Sarkozy. And that was it. Of course had we been over by the Bastille it would have been a different scene. But it made me wonder if this was a normal showing on an election day or representative of the way the French were feeling about this particular election? Would love to know what you think - were we just in the wrong place to witness, or was something else at play? <br /><br />Hope you enjoy a delicious weekend!
