Hmm.

Live and learn. I didn't realize there were only 7 prisoners in the Bastille when it was stormed.

"It is also customary that firefighters organize dancing parties (bals du 14 juillet)."

Are the firefighters aware of this?

Here's another little oddity: Did you know that one of the Bastille keys is at Mount Vernon in Virginia? Apparently Lafayette sent it as a gift (third paragraph). You can kind of see it in the case at the top left of this photo.
