HAPPY BASTILLE DAY! >>>

On Bastille Day, local Frenchmen party like it’s 1789.

Yup, Francophiles of the South Sound unite on this day to celebrate the most important historical events for the French: the liberation of the Bastille prison and the end of the French monarchy.

The Weekly Volcano has never had anything against the French (even during those dark “Freedom Fries” days), so we will celebrate the day by showing you pictures of French toast (natch!).
