While the capital boasts the best program, thanks to its traditional military parade and its emblematic fireworks display fired from the Eiffel Tower, the rest of the region has not said its last word! Every year, the different towns in each département compete with each other to offer fun-filled events for families and friends on July 13 and 14. On the Seine-Saint-Denis side, you can spend the day in the commune of Le Pré-Saint-Gervais, for some exceptional entertainment!

On the eve of the national holiday, take advantage of the town's proximity to the capital to visit square Edmond-Pépin, from 7pm to 10.30pm. Put on your blue, white and red and attend the Republican banquet, before swaying to the "Soul Time" concert and listening to the brass band, with plenty of entertainment for the whole family. And to round off the evening in style, enjoy the Firelights light show !

Before the festivities begin, why not take a tour of the town, reputed to be the closest to Paris? At the foot of the Romainville hills, this commune lost most of its territory when Les Lilas was created, but it still boasts a number of places of interest, notably the Léo Lagrange stadium, which hosts numerous popular events throughout the year. The green streets and village spirit are perfect for a stroll!
