July 14th Bastille Day in Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois (91): Fireworks cancelled

The town of Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois is canceling its fireworks display celebrating Fête Nationale 2023 due to the "significant risk of fire".

For the Fête Nationale 2023, the town of Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois is offering its traditional fireworks display from the Stade de Rugby Léo Lagrange on July 13, 2023. Don't miss out on the evening!

As every year, the show is sure to delight the locals, but the event is also an excellent excuse to discover the town of Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois. We recommend that you spend a day here with family or friends to stroll around and visit some of the spots that are well worth a look.

"Due to weather conditions and the high risk of fire linked to the drought, the Prefecture prohibits fireworks displays within 200 meters of wooded or natural areas. Due to the time constraints imposed by the announcement of this decision, it is not possible to move the July 13 fireworks display to another location in the city. The numerous logistical and technical constraints involved mean that it cannot be held. The town thanks you for your understanding.

With almost 1600 years of history, Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois has many treasures to reveal! You'll discover historic sites such as the Church and the Donjon, a tower listed as a historical monument since 1923, but that's not all. You can also plunge into the heart of local legend by venturing to the Grotte, where you'll catch a glimpse of the famous spring that is the source of the town's history.

For an equally bucolic stroll, take a stroll around the Hôtel de Ville (Town Hall), or stroll through the Serre (Greenhouse), just a stone's throw from the Donjon. A day well spent. But don't forget to head to the Stade de Rugby Léo Lagrange for the fireworks display at 11pm.

A great Fête Nationale 2023 in prospect!
