Chirac presides over last Bastille Day parade
 Jacques Chirac officiated at the colorful July 14 celebrations in central Paris, on what is almost certainly his last Bastille Day as president ahead of elections next year. Amid tight security Chirac, 73, took the salute at the traditional military parade and fly-past before hosting a garden party at the Elysee palace and giving a 45-minute interview on the state of the nation carried live on television.Posted by: Fred 2006-07-15 |
