My first Bastille Day overseas!

Tonight, I had at my first Bastille Day party in South Africa. As single, cause my husband currently is having a trek in the Kruger Park with friends, will be back on tomorrow afternoon, yeaaah!!

That was cool cold to welcome all guests at entrance and check their invitation; 

Interesting to listen speeches of the French Consul of Johannesburg and French Ambassador;

So amazing to hear french and south african hymns by a very good singer;

but more impressive to hear all guests voices with her; what a solemn moment ! much better than at a soccer game!

South African hymn

Yummy to eat cheese, rillettes and pâté;

Disappointing to not have any winning ticket at the raffle (first prize was an all-inclusive stay in Mauritius for 2 persons offered by Le Club Med; otherwise I would only enjoyed the Clarins or Bensimon prize!);

Tired by a headache and no friends at the party, I went back to home at 10:30pm but the party's going on!

Just let me say the icing on the cake* was some of VIP guests at the party : parents of Princesse Charlene de Monaco. Waouh!!

And news from the Lesotho Consul : snow is in Maseru!
