This town I'm in, Valenciennes, is much bigger and more exciting than I had expected. I'm staying right outside in a suburb named Marly, but it's a 20 minute walk to the centre, where there was an awesome free concert by Alpha Blondy for Bastille Day. He's from Côte d'Ivoire and sings reggae in French, English, Arabic, and Dioula. What a great day and night. The surprise of the night is how many families with their babies were in the middle of this crowd, and how they had to ram their way out with their baby strollers.
