The French national day is the perfect excuse for all sorts of festivities, fetes, fun, and fireworks.

Check your local town hall for events in your area. Everything will be shut on this day: banks, shops, and offices.

Most towns will be holding their version that starts with a commemorative ceremony and speeches, parade, concert, fireworks, and dance.

Of course there will be plenty to eat and drink on every corner!
