The French national holiday celebrations are a not-to-be-missed mega summer event in Paris.
Bastille Day in Paris
If there’s one event in Paris you simply mustn’t miss, it’s the National Day! A festive and unifying occasion, it offers two days of exceptional free entertainment: a military parade, a cultural programme, an opera concert and, above all, a breathtaking fireworks display. This spectacular pyrotechnic show - taking place exceptionally on 13 July this year - is eagerly anticipated every year. For 30 minutes, the Eiffel Tower becomes the setting for a magical sound and light show. Let yourself be swept away by the magic of 14 July in Paris!
