In response to a prefectural order banning fireworks in Essonne until July 15 due to fire risk, the July 13 fireworks at Wissous Beach have been canceled and postponed.
On Bastille Day, the municipality of Wissous is hosting an open-to-the-public evening. The gathering point is at Wissous Plage, at the Centre Omnisports du Cucheron, located at 15 rue Guillaume-Bigourdan. The firework is scheduled to begin at 11 p.m., subject to permissions tied to air traffic at Orly airport. Indeed, the timing may be adjusted according to the control tower's instructions.
As in many towns, this July 13 evening marks the eve of Bastille Day with an accessible pyrotechnic display for all. The fireworks show is the main highlight of the event. Visitors are asked to arrive on-site early in the evening to enjoy the venue before the display begins.
An on-site catering option will be available to allow attendees to eat during the evening. The municipality notes, however, that parking will be tight near the multi-sports center. Spectators are therefore encouraged to walk or use suitable transport options to ease access.
July 14 marks France's national holiday, commemorating the storming of the Bastille in 1789 and the Fête de la Fédération in 1790. Each year, the celebration features official ceremonies, street dances, and spectacular fireworks in towns and municipalities across the country. Happy Bastille Day to Wissous!
