Fête Nationale in Nogent-sur-Marne (94): fireworks, concerts and dolce vita on July 13, 2025

July 14th is the national holiday in France. For the occasion, the country comes alive with traditional celebrations including fireworks displays, military parades, Republican picnics, popular balls and other festive events. On this date, which commemorates the storming of the Bastille and the Fête de la Fédération, Paris unveils several highlights, including an iconic fireworks show at the Eiffel Tower !

All around the capital, the Paris region also lends itself to the game, and the various communes of the Île-de-France region take it in turns to unveil their own programs spread over July 13 and 14. For some, this means double the festivities, for others it means finding a great program close to home, and for the more adventurous, it means discovering the treasures of the Ile-de-France region.

In the Val-de-Marne, the charming town of Nogent-sur-Marne invites us to experience a festive July 14th, but the day before! Located to the east of the capital, on the banks of the Bois de Vincennes and the Marne, this commune boasts a beautiful heritage that's well worth a visit. In particular, its Art Nouveau and Art Décoratif architectural heritage can be discovered on a stroll through the city as the festivities approach!
