Somewhere around 4pm on this day, I realized it was world-wide Pride day. Seeing as we are staying in the Marais, which is a Gay neighborhood, it occurred to me that we'd be seeing some action later that night.
The first inkling of how long and loud the party was going to be came at around 10pm (still light out, as mentioned before, it doesn't get dark until 10:30) when we could see a Josephine Baker drag queen coming down the block with a skirt made of bananas and feathers.
Many revelers filled the little street to the right of our windows, oddly, no one went past our corner but heading down another block. The street was technically open so every now and then, we'd hear honking and see a car muscling its way down the street with no regard to people's safety.
It beign 85 degrees or more, the windows must stay open. Needless to say, the party kept me up all night, but Isabella managed some sleep. There were moments where I was very annoyed, but mostly, I loved that the music was up and people were out partying with pride until 4:30am!
