Bastille Day Menu
Today through Sunday
On July 14, 1789 a mob of Parisians who were angry with their king for calling out his troops to restore order in the wake of riots over the price of bread decided to storm the Bastille and capture the arms that were supposedly stored there. Today, the French celebrate this day as marking the beginning of the Revolution that eventually overthrew the monarchy.
