Over French skies

Yesterday I showed you some night skies from Malta. Today we go to France as the Tour de France ended yesterday with a display of bicycling at the Champs Elysee, with the eventual winner being Chris Froome of England. But over the French skies, there was a spectacular display of the  Patrouille de France or PAF, which is the precision aerobatic  demonstration team of the French Air Force. Originating in 1931, it is the world's oldest and one of the most skilled demonstration teams. 

I took these two photos from a TV screen - so they are not the best, but worth sharing nonetheless. They are over the Arc de Triomphe and over the Sacre Coeur Cathedral in Paris.
