Bastille Day, France's national holiday celebrated annually on July 14th, is akin to New Zealand's Waitangi Day, marking a pivotal moment in French history.
What is Bastille Day? Known as "Le Quatorze Juillet" or "La Fête Nationale," Bastille Day commemorates the Storming of the Bastille on July 14, 1789, a key event in the French Revolution that marked the end of monarchy and the dawn of the modern French Republic.
How do the French celebrate?
| Fireworks: | Parades: |
| Cities across France illuminate the sky with dazzling displays, notably near the Eiffel Tower in Paris, drawing crowds of spectators | The grandest parade occurs on Paris's Champs-Élysées, featuring military units, tanks, and aircraft, showcasing national unity under the President's watch |
| Festivities: | Bal des Pompiers (Firemen’s Ball): |
| Throughout France, people gather for street parties and communal celebrations filled with music, dance, and culinary delights |
Fire stations host lively public dances, known as the Firemen’s Ball, offering a unique way to join the festivities. |
| Family Gatherings: | Civic Ceremonies: |
| Families and friends come together for special meals and outdoor barbecues, enjoying the summer weather | Official events include speeches, flag ceremonies, and tributes to honor those who fought for French liberty. |
