Over the past month, France has played host to the Euro 2016 football championship, which is best understood to us Americans as the World Cup of Europe. It happens every four years, and is apparently a big freaking deal.
The final match will be held tonight at the Stade de France in Paris, where France (Les Bleus!) will play Portugal. The streets of Paris are absolutely PACKED with fans draped in French flags, chanting an endless chorus of La Marseillaise, and overflowing from bars onto sidewalks and streets, straining to catch a glimpse of the match on TV. There is definitely an electricity and excitement in the city today. As our current adopted city, I can't help but cheer on the French team - allez les bleus!
