Every year, the United States celebrates Independence Day on July 4, followed ten days later by France’s national holiday, commonly known in English as Bastille Day. Together, these dates offer a natural occasion to celebrate the long history of Franco-American friendship.

That’s why at ANNE TOURAINE Paris™, we are very proud of the France-Amérique scarf which each year, in July, is the hero of our collection. It is way more than a stylish scarf: it is a tribute to the long historical links between France and the United States.
As we all know, the French alliance was decisive for the cause of American independence. The American Revolution also influenced political thought in France. French aid (money, warships, and volunteers) proved vital in the victory of the Americans seeking independence from Britain. In turn, the American Revolution had a significant influence in France. Figures such as Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin participated in the wider transatlantic exchange of Enlightenment ideas during this period.
If, like us, you love equally France and the USA - which by the way share the same flag colors – it’s time to celebrate in style both the 4th of July and Bastille Day.
Surprise your friends! Rather than wearing a blue, white and red brooch or earrings, opt for a refined accessory: the ANNE TOURAINE Paris™ France-Amérique scarf, which you can wear all year round, is a lovely accessory you will never get tired of. It was offered in four different shades: cloudy white, parchment beige (old print effect), storm blue and pewter grey.
Its two different sizes (36x36” / 90x90cm and 27x27” / 70x70cm) allow many different ways to wear it.
Whatever your favorite color or size is you will shine on these very special days. Time to express your love for the USA and for France! Happy 4th of July, Bonne fête de la Bastille and "Que la fête commence" (let the party begin)!
