It is incredible to see the French citizens coming together and celebrating such a special day. July 14 is Bastille Day and it is in commemoration of the 1790 Fête de la Fédération. It is liberation of the people from the monarchy. As we made our way into the crowd of people waiting to see the parade by the Palais de Justice, I could feel the pride in each citizen. As a tourist, it is very interesting to be a part of such a big holiday.
Even though we got to see the parade from a distance, I was having a great time. My favorite part of the celebration was the air show. Seeing the jet planes perfectly aligned fly across the sky was very cool. Then, two planes left a trail with the national colors on the sky, it was an amazing sight.
The event at the Eiffel Tower in the evening was awesome. We saw an orchestra and we were present for the fireworks as well. Champ de Mars was packed with people everywhere. There was hardly any space to sit at the lawn.
I could feel the pride in each citizen as they chanted to their national anthem. It was a great experience.
