National Day 2026 in Franconville (Val-d'Oise, 95): fireworks on July 13

The festivities for the 14 juillet in Île-de-France remain one of the summer’s big moments, mixing fireworks, an open-air dance party, free activities and outings with family or friends. In Paris and across the Île-de-France towns, the Fête nationale invites everyone to enjoy a festive evening before looking up at the sky for the traditional pyrotechnic show.

You live in the 95 region and are wondering what to do for the Fête nationale this year? Usually celebrated on July 14, many events are organized the day before in several communes of the Île-de-France region. Franconville is no exception. The Val-d'Oise town is set to celebrate the French national holiday on July 13, 2025, and has put together a program of events not to be missed.

But if you don't want to get bored during the day, you can visit the town and discover its little treasures, from the Château Cadet de Vaux, former estate of the scientist Cadet de Vaux, today a music school, to the eponymous park, a veritable urban oasis with an exceptional arboretum, or the Buttes du Parisis, 120 hectares of natural spaces with hiking trails, mountain bike tracks and picnic areas on Paris's green belt.
