That morning in Vincennes there was a fun-run on (we were a bit late realising otherwise I would have signed up). The water points didn't just have your standard water or Gatorade but RedBull-how awesome is that!
We eventually go the street where the parade was and found ourselves a good position to watch it go by. We kept oursleves amused by rating the Gendames (policemen) bums as they too stood around waiting - not many that were that shaggable but enough to keep us amused!
Their uniforms are really really weird in the crotch area though - the zip doesn't do up from bottom to top but the opposite direction. Which means that the little zipper tag hangs down in between their legs - looking very much like you know what. Very funny, I just couldn't quite get it on my camera without looking like a stalker! 
We waited for ages, we were very lucky to be at the front but there were annoying parisiennes behind us with cameras basically leaning them on our shoulders to get good shots. The parade was quite good - there were a lot of non-Chinese in the parade. Like African dance groups and stuff which was a little odd but most of the costumes were pretty good and the dragons and lions all did a pretty good show although they looked knackered by the time they got to us!
We stayed for about an hour before deciding to call it quits and head off for a nice Chinese lunch! A rather full-on weekend in Paris that didn't involve alcohol for a change!
