Celebrate Bastille Day in Columbus

Today, July 14, is Bastille Day, the French "Independence Day." It commemorates the day in 1789 when French citizens torn down the gates to the Bastille prison, a symbol of the excess of the French nobility, thus beginning the French Revolution. In celebration, let's look at some of the delicious French restaurants in central Ohio:

• The venerable Refectory Restaurant and Bistro on Bethel Road
• L'Antibes on North High Street
• La Chatelaine, in Dublin, on West Lane Avenue, and in Worthington
