Where To Celebrate Bastille Day

The Europeans are giving us plenty of reasons to party this week, so citoyens du monde, fill the vuvuzela void in your hand with a glass of vin rouge 'cause Wednesday is Bastille Day.

You're sure to find a few bon vivants toasting the French fête nationale at my favorite bistros in town — Dupont's Bistrot du Coin (ok, maybe a long line of bon vivants), Georgtown's Bistro Lepic and downtown's snug little Bistro d'Oc.

Here's a look at a few more places to find a party:

• L'Enfant Cafe (patio pictured) is hosting its raucous annual Bastille Day block party on Vernon Street between 18th and 19th from 4-11 p.m. Highlights include a French maid race at 8 p.m. and a masquerade ball with DJ and dancing in the street right after. Entry is $5 and bars and food stands will be set up.

• BLT Steak is slashing the prices on all French wine by the glass and bottle by 50 percent. Got any Chateau Lafite back there, sommelier?

• Cafe du Parc at The Willard will be celebrating during lunch and dinner with live music, crepe stations and grilled French dishes.
