Every year, France celebrates its national holiday on July 14th. This public holiday, which commemorates the storming of the Bastille, is marked by tradition. In Paris, highlights include the military parade down theChamps-Elysées, and the spectacular fireworks display from the Eiffel Tower. Nothing less!
Another key July 14th tradition? The firemen's ball, whose origins date back to August 15, 1806. On this occasion, firefighters opened the doors of their barracks to the general public. Although the date of the Fête Nationale has since changed, the French remain faithful to these popular balls more than two centuries later.
So, are you in the mood to party? Here's a list of the best things to do in Paris and the Ile-de-France region on July 12, 13 and 14, 2025. From firemen's balls to folk festivals, you'll be able to get your groove on while you wait for the fireworks, and let off steam until the end of the night.
