Apologies, I should have posted right away that we are fine and were no where near the train station when the crash occurred.
Today is Bastille Day and all of downtown Paris is gridlocked for the military parade. We walked, and got detoured, and walked, and got detoured... etc, but ended up finding a shaded bench where the mounted military brigade was waiting.
Best find since the other million people were in the sun, and 10-15 people deep so you couldn't see anyway - we could stand on our bench.
The fighter jets flew over and their plume was the French flag colors.
Overall, men in uniform - not a bad day.
Tomorrow we got to the Louvre in the morning and then will travel by train to Amboise in the Loire Valley.
Thanks for all the worried emails.
