Every year on the 14 July, the whole of France hums with the celebrations, and for good reason: it marks the day of the National Holiday. The traditional festivities take place between 13 and 14 July with fireworks ringing out from coast to coast, concerts, republican picnics and also... popular dances including the famous firefighter balls.
In every corner of the Paris region, different communes organize their own events to celebrate the French National Holiday, allowing some to find a program close to home and others to take advantage of the opportunity to discover the Ile-de-France region.
In Seine-Saint-Denis (93), the city of Montreuil known for its vibe that’s at once popular, artistic and bobo, doesn’t miss this opportunity to party. Each year, this inner-ring suburb municipality offers its program of festivities for the National Day.
In the run-up to the celebrations, you can take advantage of the opportunity to take a break on one of the city's many terraces and wastelands, discover its lush parks, family-friendly spots and lively third-party venues.
