Fête nationale 2024 in La Garenne Colombes (92): firemen's ball on July 13

A great program awaits you again this year for the Fête nationale! Fête Nationale is celebrated every year, traditionally on July 14. This historic date refers to the storming of the Bastille, the famous royal prison, on July 14, 1789. On that day, five cannons taken in the morning from Les Invalides were placed in front of the Bastille by French guards. At around 5 p.m., the Bastille garrison surrendered and the Parisians, who had come to collect gunpowder and bullets, took over the Bastille.

Every July 14th, the French commemorate this historic day with a military parade, popular balls and fire department balls, not forgetting the inevitable fireworks display.
