France's Quatorze Juillet National Celebrations have a distinctively European feel this year.
Shaking up Traditions, the President of France invited non-French European Contingents to join the festivities for the first time. The president of the European Commission, the European foreign policy chief, the Prime Minister of the rotating EU president country and Regiments from across Europe representing the full 27 European Union countries all marched the Champs-Elysees in the traditional military parade with President Sarkozy.
"I wanted France to be back in Europe and Europe to be present in France!" said the President.
