Le 14 juillet - Bastille Day in four cities in Texas
Bastille Day is the French national holiday which is celebrated on 14 July each year.
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.
Festivities are held on the morning of 14 July, on theChamps-Élysées avenue in Paris in front of the President of the Republic.
It will be also celebrated in four cities in Texas: Austin, Dallas, El Paso and Houston. Click here for more information.
