What is up in rest of Europe? France is in celebration mood after the somber rememberance of the victims of the second world war yesterday...8th of May and 61 years since the war ended. Here in France it is of course a national holiday. That the day following the 8th of May has been named "Fête l'Europe" just seems self-explanatory. First there was a war, then EU was created to never have war again! (The Schuman declaration was signed on the 9th of May 1950 and was the beginning of the coal and steel union) Let's have a day for Europe!
- How the French celebrate it? They light up the Eiffeltower and the Arch de Triomphe in blue!
It's True
