It's Bastille Day!

Bastille Day is the French National Holiday, and celebrates the beginning of the French Revolution.  This day commemorates the storming of the Bastille, a medieval fortress that came to be used as a prison.  The prison was a symbol of the harsh rule and absolute power of Louis the 16^th.  By capturing the prison on July 14, 1789, the people signaled that the king’s power was no longer absolute, and the first Republic Was created in 1792.

Bastille Day is a huge celebration, with parades, dances, fireworks, and family gatherings.
