About Bastille Day

The French don't call it Bastille Day. To them it's le 14 juillet, or the Fête nationale, and it has been the national holiday since a law passed on July 6, 1880. The lawmakers had two anniversaries in mind: the storming of the Bastille in 1789, and the Fête de la Fédération a year later, when huge crowds gathered on the Champ de Mars to celebrate a united France.

The morning belongs to the military parade down the Champs-Élysées, the oldest and largest regular one in Europe, with the President watching from the Place de la Concorde. After dark the fireworks go up over the Eiffel Tower, and fire stations all over the country open their doors for the bals des pompiers.
