Vongjour! Its the 14th of July and the French people were busy preparing and celebrating the Bastille Day usually held in Paris wherein fireworks been displayed at the Eiffel Tower.
Based on my research in wikipedia, Bastille Day is the
French national holiday, celebrated on 14 July each year . In France, it is called Fête Nationale ("National Celebration") in official parlance, or more commonly le quatorze juillet ("14 July"). It commemorates the 1790
Fête de la Fédération, held on the first anniversary of the
storming of the Bastille on 14 July 1789; the anniversary of the storming of the Bastille fortress-prison was seen as a symbol of the uprising of the modern nation, and of the reconciliation of all the French inside the constitutional monarchy which preceded the
First Republic, during the
French Revolution. The destruction of the Bastille prison in central Paris was chosen as a symbol of France's first stirrings of democracy, though it would take several reinstated monarchies and bloody revolutions to establish an enduring Republic. It is a festive event that splashes fireworks and patriotic processions across Paris. Cheers!
