Don't miss this opportunity to take part in a French tradition that has endured for over two centuries. Did you know that fireworks have been part of our culture for 228 years? The Chinese were the first to use black powder in the 8th century, and it was Marco Polo who brought it to Europe in the 13th century. In France, the first pyrotechnic show was organized in 1612 on the Place des Vosges in Paris, to mark the wedding of Louis XIII and Anne of Austria. Since the French Revolution, fireworks have become a recurring festive symbol of the Fête de la Fédération on July 14, 1790. However, it wasn't until the Third Republic that fireworks became a fixture of the Fête Nationale, officially established on July 14 in 1880.
Take part in this historic tradition and experience an unforgettable evening at the Élancourt, La Verrière and Maurepas intercommunal fire works display on July 13, 2023. Take a break from your daily routine and let yourself be transported by the magic of the lights that will set the starry sky ablaze.
