Le 4 juillet en France

This past weekend, thanks to my friend Camille, I had a chance to celebrate the 4th of July here in France.
 

Camille invited François and I to the traditional Independence Day BBQ that she has been helping organize for a good many years now. As you can see, it was très authentique, with chicken and (hooray!) potato salad.

Like any successful summer gathering, there was swimming. François and Nina (Camille's grand-daughter) jumped into the pool the second we got there.
 

There was also a bit of relaxing...
 

and a whole lot of chatting, in English and French!

There was, of course, la table des enfants. Look how nicely French kids wait for their dinner!

Meanwhile, back at la table des adultes...

All in all, it was a very cool way to spend a sunny summer afternoon.
