Earlier this year Trump offended the people of Paris by implying the terrorist attacks had changed the city. The president told a rally in Washington in February that his friend Jim, who used to love Paris, no longer goes because Paris is no longer Paris.

At the time, Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo responded by tweeting a photo of Mickey and Minnie Mouse with the caption: To @realdDonaldTrump and his friend Jim, in @LaTourEiffel we celebrate the dynamism and the spirit of openness of #Paris with Mickey & Minnie.

Back in the northern neighborhood of BarbsRochechouart, Mohammed Cheikh said he hoped Trump's exposure to Bastille Day might change Trump's position on the wars in Syria and Iraq.

"I doubt he's ever heard of July 14," said the 32-year-old, who works in security. "But if he gets the 14 of July he should understand the importance of peace and armistice and if he gets that, he should know he needs to end the wars in Syria and in Iraq."

Others in the city of lights were more apathetic.
