STORYLINE:
Swooping warplanes, axe-carrying warriors, a drone light show over the Eiffel Tower and fireworks in nearly every French town — it must be Bastille Day.
France celebrated its biggest holiday Monday with 7,000 people marching, on horseback or riding armored vehicles along the cobblestones of the Champs-Elysées, the most iconic avenue in Paris.
The spectacle began on the ground, with French President Emmanuel Macron reviewing the troops and relighting the eternal flame beneath the Arc de Triomphe.
The Paris event included flyovers by fighter jets, trailing red, white and blue smoke.
Then the evening sees a drone light show and fireworks at the Eiffel Tower that has gotten more elaborate every year.
Every year, France hosts a special guest for Bastille Day, and this year it’s Indonesia, with President Prabowo Subianto representing the world’s largest Muslim country, which is also a major Asian economic and military player.
Indonesian troops, including 200 traditional drummers, marched in Monday’s parade, and Indonesia is expected to confirm new purchases of Rafale fighter jets and other French military equipment during the visit.
Subianto, who was accused of rights abuses under Indonesia’s prior dictatorship, will be treated to a special holiday dinner at the Elysée Palace.
And there are plans for partying and pageantry around the country.
