Every year, a host of events are organized in every corner of the country. From fireworks displays to military parades, popular balls, firemen's balls and other light-hearted programs, France's different towns and cities mark the occasion.
In Paris, the day is marked by two highlights: the military parade down theChamps-Elysées and the iconic fireworks display from the Eiffel Tower. As for the region surrounding the City of Light, it's not to be outdone: the whole of theÎle-de-France region is in a festive mood, with an exciting program of events scheduled for July 13 and 14, 2023.
