A popular event celebrated on the same date every year, the Fête Nationale is an event that many French people wouldn't miss for the world. The Fête Nationale on July 14th is the occasion for a host of celebrations, including the unmissable fireworks displays in all four corners of France on July 13th, and in Paris on July 14th.
In addition to these pyrotechnic displays, France's national holiday is an opportunity to meet the armed forces and attend the traditional military parade on the Champs-Élysées, as well as to enjoy a sublime symphony concert on the Champ-de-Mars, or to sway to the dance floor at the famous bals populaires and bals des pompiers.
