Happy French National Day 2019. July 14 of each year is celebrated as the National Day of France, formally called as La Fête Nationale Francaise. It is also commonly known as the 14th of July or in French, Le 14 Juillet.

The 14th of July (Le 14 Juillet), also known as La Fête Nationale Francaise, is being observed to commemorate the Storming of the Bastille which happened on 14 July 1789 and marks the beginning of the French Revolution. That is why it is also known as Bastille Day. The 14th of July also commemorates the celebration of the unity of the French people during the revolution through a festival known as Fête de la Fédération on 14 July 1790, one year after the storming of Bastille, in honor of the revolution itself and national unity.

Vive la France! Vive le 14 Juillet!
