Looking to celebrate Bastille Day in Dallas?
Just 10 days following Independence Day in the United States is the 14th of July or as we call it, Bastille Day. Bastille Day is the French National Holiday that celebrates the storming of the Bastille—a military fortress and prison—on July 14, 1789, an uprising that helped usher in the French Revolution.
I had the chance to celebrate Bastille Day in Paris, back in 2006 when I was backpacking through Europe with my girlfriends. And this year, my husband and I will be in France for La Fête Nationale! I can’t wait.
If you ever get the chance to be in France for Bastille Day or “le 14 juillet” as they call it, you’re in for a treat. But if international travel isn’t in the cards, you can celebrate Bastille Day in DFW at one of the great French restaurants in the area or a special Bastille Day event.
Bastille Day Events in DFW
