Is there a way to watch this online? I seem to recall people at a French restaurant in Minneapolis watching this every July but I'm sure it wasn't on American TV networks.
Screw the défilé... Enjoy the bal des pompiers in Paris! Bonus points for coming back with the képi noir of a pompier plus some photos of hot chicks at said event(s) of debauchary!
I've never been accosted by so many random chicks on the street as I was while wearing the képi blanc and TDF the day before Bastille Day. Just make sure your tenue de parade is perfect, have a back-up képi, belt, pantalon, etc... Because all those may or may not come back with you.
Don't say you weren't warned.

I see 1er REC is sending their EEI 6 too...Originally Posted by Rapace
What about the German 291 Jägerbataillon?
Thought that was just in 1994?
Its are in the program, are their some history about them?
Edit: found that there are in a base in northen France
Correct, but they'll be parading onboard their VBL (Véhicule Blindé Léger) not on foot.

Well this is more than obvious, since parading on foot means standing up for hours and then, believe it or not, walking for a few hundred meters. And we all know that such feats of courage and heroism are not common within the cavalry.
I'll be there, on the stands.Looking forward to it.

I remember clearly parading a LONG time on a hot asphalt road between Kreider and Bouktoub with no one to watch or cheer us on (and no infantry or paras to be seen anywhere because they could not hack it)Well this is more than obvious, since parading on foot means standing up for hours and then, believe it or not, walking for a few hundred meters.

Try the web sites of some French TV channels, like [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] or [Only registered and activated users can see links. ].

It's a German infantry/recce unit, based in Illkirch-Graffenstaden, just south of Strasbourg in Alsace (not far from the German border). It belongs to the so-called BFA (Brigade Franco-Allemande).
