July 14th is a key date in the French summer. No wonder: it's the national holiday! The whole country joins in the festivities. In every corner of the country, fireworks light up the sky, and people dance the night away at the firemen's balls and popular balls organized in various French towns and cities. It's an occasion not to be missed! Young and old alike can enjoy a wide range of festive activities on this public holiday.
In Paris, two highlights await locals and visitors alike: an impressive military parade, and an iconic fireworks display from the Eiffel Tower, no less! But Paris isn't the only place to celebrate: the whole of the Île-de-France region is taking part in the festivities, with a wide range of events scheduled for July 13 and 14. For some, it's a chance to celebrate the Fête Nationale close to home. For others, it's a chance to explore the region's heritage, which is well worth the detour!
In the Val-de-Marne, the town of L'Haÿ-les-Roses is one of these nuggets worth discovering, notably for its sublime rose garden. Nearby is the Domaine de Sceaux , whose garden was designed by André-le-Notre, and its château, which houses an art museum. As you can see, you'll have plenty to enjoy while you wait for the festivities to kick off at L'Haÿ-les-Roses. By the way, what's in store for the July 14th festivities in this charming Val-de-Marne commune? Answer below:
