On the occasion of the National Day 2026, France comes alive with traditional celebrations: fireworks, military parades, republican picnics, popular balls and other festive events. But Paris isn’t the only city rolling out the red carpet; numerous towns in the Île-de-France region are lining up an incredible program!
Over in the Val-de-Marne (94), in the charming town of Choisy-le-Roi, you’ll be treated to a pyrotechnic show launched from the banks, on July 13, 2026. But in the meantime, why not take a stroll through the town?
The Parc de la Mairie, the former estate of Louis XV's royal château, has preserved the remains of its two entrance pavilions, while the former presbytery, now home to the Tourist Office, offers a 3D reconstruction of the royal estate! And don't forget theParc des Gondoles and its animal farm, or the Faïencerie de Choisy-le-Roi, an old factory founded in 1805.
