Tonight fire stations all across Paris and France will be holding their annual Bal des Pompiers, or Firemens' Ball. One of the most famous ones, held at the Port Royal Fire station, is located in my neighborhood, but after a failed attempt to attend that one last year, I will be testing out the waters in another arrondissement this year....with Hot Date #1. Though he may have some competition from all the hot, shirtless firemen running around... ;)

If you click here, you'll see the list of all the bals being held in IdF. (FYI: Some stations have balls both the 13 & the 14th, giving you two chances to see the firemen in action!)
