Bastille day : A bit of history.
Posted on July 15, 2005 | Category: Of mention
Some people have asked me what Bastille day was so I thought I’d post an explanation of it.
Bastille Day is the French national holiday, celebrated on 14 July each year. It is called Fête Nationale (National Holiday) in France. It commemorates the 1790 Fête de la Fédération, held on the first anniversary of the storming of the Bastille on 14 July 1789; the Fête de la Fédération was seen as a symbol of the uprising of the modern French “nation,” and of the reconciliation of all the French inside the constitutional monarchy which preceded the First Republic, during the French Revolution.
