The French invited one and all to celebrate the anniversary of the fall of the Bastille on Tuesday night and there was plenty of star power down at Little Ochie.


Voila! Haven't seen Adrien Lemaire (left) around much, but the budding businessman and former cultural attaché at the French Embassy was out with lady love Danielle Crosskill at the National Day reception.
