Reims, Festive

A couple separate events from May and June; the city likes to throw a festival and show of its history. In the first case, the anniversary of the German surrender in 1945; the second, the Fetes Johanniques, centered around Joan of Arc's successful entrance into the city and the crowning of the Dauphin, but really just a big 'medieval' event.

    believe it or not, this bonfire (to a St John?) was on the opening night of the Fetes Johanniques -- a weekend dedicated to Joan of Arc
