July 14, 2025 in Paris: watch the fireworks from the Captain Fracasse cruise

Every year on July 14th, the Eiffel Tower becomes the center of attention, the highlight of an evening of festivities. Paris celebrates the Fête Nationale with a military parade, numerous fire department balls, and a spectacular fireworks display that lights up the Iron Lady. This pyrotechnic spectacle is always eagerly awaited, and attracts large crowds.

Regulars are therefore looking for a pleasant spot, with an unobstructed view of the Eiffel Tower, to enjoy the fireworks without getting stuck in the crowds gathered on the Champ-de-Mars. To make the most of this special evening, Capitaine Fracasse invites us to take part in its dinner cruise.
