“La Fête Nationale” celebrates one of the most pivotal moments of French history: the Storming of the Bastille. The fortified prison was stormed by Revolutionaries in 1789, demonstrating their defiance against the monarchy and ignited a wave of revolutionary fervor across France. This moment was a spark that helped ignite the French Revolution, which gave liberty and freedom to the common folk of France. Today, Bastille Day is celebrated throughout the country with patriotic pride.
