Today we celebrate one of the most important days in French history!

Bastille Day, known in France as La Fête nationale or simply le 14 juillet, is celebrated each year on July 14. This national holiday commemorates the Storming of the Bastille, which took place in Paris on July 14, 1789. On that day, revolutionaries seized the fortress in search of gunpowder and ammunition, marking a pivotal moment in the French Revolution. Today, the storming of the Bastille remains a powerful symbol of liberty, the people’s resistance to tyranny, and the ideals of Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité. France’s national holiday also honors the spirit of unity celebrated at the Fête de la Fédération on July 14, 1790, reflecting the enduring values of the French Republic. Bonne Fête nationale! 🇫🇷
