July 14th is the French national holiday. I had the pleasure of being at the Eiffel Tower on July 14th in time to watch the fireworks display, which for the first time since 2000 was fired off from the Eiffel Tower. 500,000 people gathered and listened to live performances of classical music and opera singing before the fireworks. It was magical. Seriously.

Today is Bastille Day! It is also known as French National Day or the Fourteenth of July. It celebrates both the storming of the Bastille (a prison) in 1789 and the Fete de la Federation in 1790. The storming of the Bastille signifies the start of the French Revolution. And the Fete signifies unity as it was a day when royalty and citizens came together.
