Vive la France! Celebrate Bastille Day in Seattle

On the first Bastille Day in 1790, scores of Parisians gathered on the Champ de Mars to celebrate the end of the French Revolution. It took four days for the last straggler to sober up and go home. The modern-day equivalent of that holiday is a decidedly more sober and less naked affair, but that's not to say you can't have a lot of fun celebrating Bastille Day here in Seattle. We've got the wine, after all. The rest should come easy.
