July 14th is a very special day in France, as it marks the start of the Fête Nationale. This date, which commemorates the storming of the Bastille, a key stage in the French Revolution, is celebrated today with traditional festivities including popular balls, firemen's balls, concerts, torchlight processions, military parades and of course... fireworks.
Paris and the whole of the Île-de-France region are also part of the show. The capital will marvel at the iconic fireworks show fired from the Eiffel Tower. In the rest of the Paris region, you can also enjoy a variety of fireworks displays on July 13 and 14. It's also an opportunity to discover the beautiful towns of the Paris region and their sometimes little-known heritage.
And one of the best ways to watch fireworks is from the water. These breathtaking displays light up the sky and reflect off lakes and rivers. And if you're in the mood for a Fête Nationale with your feet almost in the water, we've listed this year's must-see spots for a July 14th fireworks display by the water! From the banks of the Seine, the Marne, theOise or even the lakes, here's this year's program!
