Fête Nationale 2025 promises to be an eventful day! Before attending the famous fireworks display in Paris and dancing the night away at one of the capital's many fire department balls, you can take advantage of the day's events, from the military parade in the morning to the activities offered by the French Army at the historic Invalides on July 14. This day is an opportunity for the Army regiments to meet the French people they protect all year round.
The French Army is transforming the site into a real military training ground, with parallel demonstrations of modern equipment and areas dedicated to innovation. You can also try the Déterremination course, to test your limits, strengthen your mind and discover the values of the institution. The program also includes sporting challenges such as obstacle clearance, balance courses, pull-ups and much more!
Military personnel from the various units will be on hand to answer all your questions and support you throughout the day, from 10am to 7.30pm.
Happy Fête Nationale to all!
