Hey guys. I would like to share this video with you, I made this from March 28, 2013. French Armed forces had a memorial event under Arc de triomphe de l'Étoile (I'm not pretty sure is it for WW2 or not) I happened to be there when I had one day trip with my university. Salute to all war heroes. I hope you like it. Youtube link:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIEVHOqwSmk
At last, nope... My bus left around 2000 from Bercy. It's already 1920 when it finished. So I started walk back. Maybe next time. One day trip for Paris is tough. Too much grounds to cover, I had to walk and run for 8 hours without even sitting somewhere. But... I'm so enjoyed this huge surprise!
It was a Commémoration for North African war Veterans and civilian casualties (1954-1962) . I Notice Gendarmes units , the Republican Guard and some Paratrooper units. The Flag bearers are the actual Veterans. Not too many survivors are there nowadays. http://notrejournal.info/29-Mars-2013-Commemoration-sous-l
Nice to blunder into something unexpected isn't it....And I love that anthem...probably the most stirring anthem of any nation.
