The pipes and drums of the Scottish and French Auld Alliance March bring a colourful (and noisy!) display that not only attracts a large good-natured crowd, but will also raise money for cancer relief. A similar parade through New York raised over half a million dollars. The parade will start at the Place de la Concorde, run along the Seine, go under the Eiffel tower then finish up in front of the Ecole Militaire. Following the 2000-strong crowd of pipers will give you a great city tour in itself!
