14 juillet - National holiday
The French National Day, also called July 14, is a public holiday in France. The storming of the Bastille, which took place on Tuesday July 14, 1789 in Paris, is one of the inaugural and emblematic events of the French Revolution. This day, during which the Bastille is stormed by rioters, is, in historiographical tradition, considered the first major intervention by the Parisian people to put an end to monarchical power. Since every year we celebrate this event. Every city in France organizes a parade, a party with music and fireworks. With my friends every year, we take a picnic and go to the top of a mountain to see as much fireworks as possible while listening to our music!
