July 14, 2026 in Paris: watch the fireworks from the Capitaine Fracasse cruise.

Every year, on the 14 July, the Eiffel Tower takes center stage, the highlight of a festive night. Paris celebrates the National Day with a military parade, numerous firefighter balls, and a spectacular fireworks display that lights up the Iron Lady. This pyrotechnic show is always highly anticipated and draws a large crowd. This year, it will take place on the evening of Monday, July 13, 2026.

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.
