In France, Bastille Day is known as le 14 juillet and la fête nationale. It is the anniversary of the 1789 Storming of the Bastille, a key event during the French Revolution. Learn more about it in this Encyclopedia Britannica entry.
France offers a wealth of things to write about and talk about and we do that on Real Food Traveler quite often thanks to the travel and expertise provided by our Europe Editor, Irvina Lew, author of the soon-to-be-published book, “Forays in France.”
