In France, Bastille Day is on July 14: it's a chance to watch the military parade and the spectacular fireworks around the Eiffel Tower in Paris (which this year takes place on July 13—watch out!). Beyond these celebrations, you can also enjoy numerous festivities organized in many towns across France.
On July 13 2026, residents of Saint-Maur-des-Fossés are invited to celebrate at the Saint-Maur fire station, located at N°17 on avenue Louis Blanc, for the traditional Firefighters’ Ball, which starts at 9 p.m. Throughout the evening and well into the night, you can dance, sing, and have fun with friends and family to celebrate Bastille Day.
Saint-Maur-des-Fossés is a very old town in the Val-de-Marne region, adorned with various monuments built over the centuries. These include the ruins of an abbey built in 639, several fortifications and many other traces of the town's rich and eventful past.
