Bastille Week
Celebrate all things French with Bastille Week, from pétanque tournaments to a Bastille Day Ball.
Pétanque is similar to horseshoes except it is played with metal balls. There’s a target, and you have to get as close to it as possible.
Bastille Day on 60th Street on Sunday, July 12, will feature food, champagne tastings, and activities for children and families (noon–5 p.m., on 60th Street between Fifth and Sixth avenues). Tickets for champagne & chocolate tasting are $55.
French Restaurant Week also returns, July 13–19, with prix-fixe menu options (at 17.89, $35.78, or $178.90 for two or four with a beverage) Participating restaurants include Orsay, Chez Lucienne, and La Sirène. For a complete list of restaurants, see FrenchRestaurantWeek.com
