Happy Bastille Day! Every July 14, the French celebrate the anniversary of the storming of the Bastille, which kicked off the French Revolution. We rounded up a bunch of activities happening in the area, but our preferred way to celebrate is with food. So we want to know which restaurant in Washington has the best French food. Where should we go to feel like we just strolled the Left Bank? Let us know in the comments!
