I heard many times before that Bastille Day celebrations in France are one of the best parties of the year, so I said I’d get there one year. Luckily enough, during my inter-railing trip back in 2012, we had been in France just in time to celebrate it! The nightlife over in Nice was great and the day before we found out about a pub crawl that was on that night. The pub crawl would start in one of the pubs in Nice and then we’d get a bus to Monaco for the night with a few stops in pubs along the way before we’d get back to Nice the following morning around 3 or 4. I can remember certain parts of the night, there was one place that really stuck out. It was a place dedicated to Formula 1 souvenirs and stuff. There was helmets, jackets and funny enough, an actual Formula 1 car on the wall itself! Don’t believe me? See the photo for yourself! The rest of the places weren’t bad. I remember the club we were at, mainly due to the fact that you had to wait in line for the bathroom, and then pay something like a euro or 2 just to use the bathroom… Like, god help you if you needed to go a couple of times in the club. Anyway, we got back to Nice around 4am but our hostel closed for a few hours in the morning so we couldn’t go anywhere. So we decided to go down towards the beach and walk as far as possible until we could go to the hostel again. Myself and Shane got to the end whilst Adrian stayed behind at one bench, he walked back to the hostel before us and was conked by the time we got back. On the walk down, we watched as the sun came up, and I got some really cool photos of the sunrise which I’m really happy of. I’d definitely love to go back to France again for Bastille Day! I would for sure recommend it to others as something to do!
