- Caption: Ce fut précisément sur les ruines de cet affreux monument du despotisme que le Français célébra le premier anniversaire de la liberté. La célérité des préparatifs de cette fête dut étonner sans doute, mais comment exprimer le sentiment qu'on éprouvait en lisant cette inscription: Ici l'on danse.
- A nighttime scene. In the open air a great crowd is gathered to dance. On the edge of the throng a small group forms in a circle dance. Musicians perform under a red, white and blue awning at left. Masses of candles illuminate the scene and rows of lanterns are strung from arbors above.
