Bastille Day on Smith Street 2009

Another Ricard-fueled holiday of sun, music, sweat, petanque and Francophilia

Brooklyn's Smith Street celebrated Bastille Day 2009 with the nation's largest petanque tournament, perfect weather, the delightful musical stylings of Michael Aranella & His Dreamland Orchestra and what must have been some kind of record for open-air Lillet and Ricard drinking. Or maybe it was just a personal record for us. Vive la France!
