France's national holiday is celebrated every year on July 14th. This historic date refers in particular to the storming of the Bastille, one of the milestones of the French Revolution. Today, July 14th is punctuated by traditional celebrations including the famous firemen's balls, the military parade down the Champs-Elysées in Paris and fireworks displays all over the country, including one from the Eiffel Tower.
In the Paris region, many communes are taking part in the festivities and celebrating the Fête Nationale with events spread between July 13 and 14, 2024. This is an opportunity for local residents to enjoy the celebrations close to home, while others see it as a good excuse to set out to conquer the treasures of theÎle-de-France region. If you'd like to combine the 14th of July with a historical stroll, we invite you to visit the Seine-et-Marne region and discover the Fête Nationale program waiting for you in Provins.
Provins is famous for its extremely well-preserved medieval town, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It's a must-see for families, friends and lovers alike. Behind the city's high ramparts, a concentration of monuments awaits you, as well as a fine program of events and shows to take you back in time. Take a stroll around the Tour César, explore the underground passageways, take an enchanted stroll through the rose garden and indulge in the gourmet delights of the restaurants and delicatessens that delight inhabitants and visitors alike. All in all, a day well spent before the July 14th festivities.
On July 13, 2024, the town of Provins is looking forward to seeing you at the fire station and at the Cordelières convent, for the grand fireworks display, fired from the gardens of the Cordelières convent, at 15 rue André-François Poncet.
A promising program!
