Tricolors on your cheeks, lanterns in your hands and the urge to party in your legs? Fête Nationale is just around the corner! Every July 14th, France sets the world alight - literally and figuratively - with its explosive cocktail of parades, balls and fireworks. And this year, the Val-d'Oise (95) will not be left in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower!
The towns of Méry-sur-Oise and Mériel are bringing out the light artillery - fanfare, karaoke and cotillions - for a festive evening, scheduled for Sunday July 13, the eve of the public holiday, in the bucolic setting of the château de Méry-sur-Oise park. So get your vocal chords, your picnic baskets and your best dance moves ready!
From 6 p.m.: live karaoke, with professional musicians to accompany you. It's time to sing like never before (even off-key!).
From 7pm: Republican picnic, à la bonne franquette. Bring your own tablecloth and meal, or try one of the gourmet food-trucks set up on site.
From 8.30pm to 1am: popular dance led by the Octarine Productions Orchestra. You'll be dancing under the stars!
10 p.m.: distribution of lanterns
11 p.m.: fireworks display
For your taste buds, refreshment stands, sweet and savoury treats will be on hand.
In short, a festive and convivial July 13 made in Méry-Mériel. To your lanterns!
