The 14th of July is one of those summer milestones that signals the season. As night falls, eyes turn to the sky to admire the fireworks, while squares and parks come alive to the rhythm of concerts, folk dances, and the celebrations of the National Holiday. In Pavillons-sous-Bois, in Seine-Saint-Denis, this tradition brings together locals and visitors year after year for a convivial moment to mark this republican celebration.
Unlike many communes in Île-de-France, Les Pavillons-sous-Bois is a relatively young town. It officially came into being in 1905, after its separation from Bondy, but its history runs much deeper. Its name refers to the two monumental pavilions that once framed the entrance to the prestigious domaine du château du Raincy. These eighteenth-century buildings, still visible today, recall the area’s past, long covered by the Forest of Bondy before it became a residential commune prized for its proximity to Paris.
Before heading to the fireworks, take a moment to explore the surroundings. The Ourcq Canal, just a few minutes away, offers a pleasant stroll or bike ride, while the historic pavilions are a must for heritage enthusiasts. The city is easily accessible thanks to the T4 tram and the bus lines, making it easy to enjoy the festivities before heading back late in the evening.
