What is Bastille Day?

Bastille Day marks the anniversary of the Storming of the Bastille on July 14, 1789, a pivotal event during the French Revolution. The fall of the Bastille, a medieval fortress and prison, symbolized the end of tyranny and the birth of the modern French Republic. It’s a day of national pride, reflecting France’s commitment to liberty, equality, and fraternity.

Importance of Bastille Day

Bastille Day is not just a historical event; it’s a celebration of French culture and values. It emphasizes the importance of democracy, freedom, and the power of the people. For students, understanding this day helps in appreciating the broader concepts of civic rights and national heritage.

How Bastille Day is Celebrated in France

The celebrations in France are grand and multifaceted. They include:

• Military Parades: The famous parade on the Champs-Élysées in Paris showcases the country’s military prowess.
• Fireworks: Spectacular displays light up the sky, particularly around the Eiffel Tower.
