fireworks in Paris

Are there any American ex-pats in Paris who celebrate the 4th of July with fireworks? Will be in Paris on the 4th this year - any chance of seeing fireworks?

    Setting off fireworks in France is very strictly controlled. I very much doubt that you'll find people out on the street with them. Perhaps if you were invited to the Ambassadors residence.....

    They usually do something like a barbecue or a picnic on the nearest weekend, but I had to laugh at an event on following website - in Paris at least it seems someone has moved your Independence Day to 15 July! americancenterfrance.org/fro...
