What is Bastille Day?
On July 14th, Bastille Day (also known as la Fête nationale) commemorates the Bastille's storming in Paris in 1789. The festival in France sparked already hot times, leading to the French Revolution.
Throughout the region, the French tricolor flag waves at parades, festivals, fireworks, and other commemorations are present. The Eiffel Tower in the country's flag's blue, white, and red of the country's flag. The French proudly carry the motto Liberté, Egaliteé Fraternité (liberty, equality, and fraternity).
For Bastille Day, the French mounted the oldest and largest military parade in Europe along the Champs-Elysées. Of course, it wouldn't be a celebration or France if the festivities didn't include delectable food or wine. The festivities have included picnics in parks and along the rivers, baguettes with the best cheeses and fresh fruit, and elaborate dishes. The City of Lights comes alive with music, dancing, and singing. Also, singing comes alive. And it's all punctuated with fireworks' grand finale.
