Neat piece? The Génie writing the Constitution has been used on various French coins; here is another one from about 100 years later: http://www.collection-ideale-cgb.net/images/franc/f549.jpg The city where I live (in NW, Germany) always celebrates "La Grande Fête Française" on the weekend next to the Quatorze Juillet. This year it was on 9-11 July, next year it will be 15-17 July. Great food, great mood ... Christian
