A great program awaits you again this year for the Fête nationale! Traditionally celebrated every July 14, this historic date refers to the storming of the Bastille, the famous royal prison, on July 14, 1789. On that day, five cannons taken in the morning from Les Invalides were placed in front of the Bastille by French Guards. At around 5 p.m., the Bastille garrison surrendered and the Parisians, who had come to collect gunpowder and bullets, took over the Bastille.

Every July 14th, the French commemorate this historic day with a military parade, popular balls and fire department balls, not forgetting the inevitable fireworks display.

If you live in the Hauts-de-Seine, head to La Garenne-Colombes on Monday, July 13, 2026, for an evening dedicated to dance and good vibes. And for good reason: the Île-de-France town in the Hauts-de-Seine is organizing... a grand firefighters’ ball! The brave men and women of the fire service invite you to join them on July 13 from 9 p.m. at the Place de La Liberté, under the market hall, for a highly convivial evening.
