The National Day 2026 is coming up fast. The perfect day to kick back with friends or family! In Paris, the celebration is set to be, once again, absolutely wild with the traditional fireworks launched from the Eiffel Tower. However, be advised: exceptionally this year, the Eiffel Tower fireworks will be fired on July 13, 2026 at dusk, and not on July 14 as usual.
While some people gather on the Champ-de-Mars to picnic on the grass and enjoy the pyrotechnic show up close, others prefer the comfort of a restaurant or terrace, to contemplate from afar the thousands of stars that fill the Parisian sky.
If you're looking for the perfect spot to see the Eiffel Tower fireworks, then look no further: head to the restaurants, terraces, rooftops and bars of Paris offering special parties for the Bastille Day 2026, on July 13.
Usually, these evenings come with a special menu, DJ sets or even live concerts, all while waiting for the night's centerpiece: the fireworks show. Here come the best tips and top spots for celebrating the National Day 2026 in Paris!
