Joyeuses Pâques


It's Easter... Joyeuses Pâques !

Easter celebrations in France,
Church bells remain silent from Good Friday until Easter Sunday
as a token of mourning for the crucified Christ.

Mothers all over France recount their children tales
relating to the fact that "the bells have flown away to Rome."

The Arch of Triomphe
a triumphal arch patterned 
in ancient Rome style.


Dedicated to the 
glory of Napoleon and his armies.

The Arch is an emblem
of French patriotism
