Every summer, the 14 July holiday lights up the entire country—and Paris leads the way. In the capital, the indispensable military parade on the Champs-Élysées kicks off the celebrations in the morning, followed by the grand classical concert at the foot of the Eiffel Tower and the fireworks awaited, fired at nightfall from the Trocadéro. The popular dances, the evenings in fire stations turned into dance floors, the open-air shows and the musical performances are in full swing across all districts. The eve, July 13, sees all of Île-de-France come alive: fireworks, brass-band dances and neighborhood fêtes in a decidedly festive and family-friendly atmosphere in major towns like Versailles, Saint-Denis, Rueil-Malmaison or Meaux… The mood everywhere is festive, joyful, and 100% tricolore.
How about heading east this year? Head for Mormant, a charming commune in the Seine-et-Marne region (77) between Melun and Provins. This village on a human scale (just over 4,000 inhabitants) is also celebrating the Fête Nationale, with an evening open to all on the Parvis des Écoles.
