La Maison Française and the Comité Tricolore invite you to celebrate "Bastille Day at the Embassy of France," an evening of feasting, music and dance on Saturday, July 11 from 7:00 p.m. – 12:00 a.m!Take an imaginary trip to France as you visit different Parisian "arrondissements" (neighborhoods) throughout the evening. Cocktails and a silent auction will begin the festivities.
