Le 14 Juillet (also called Bastille Day) was a Mini-event that was held on July 14, 2023 - Day 115, in order to celebrate the national day of France.

About

The 14th of July is the national holiday of the French Republic. The holiday was officially established in 1880 under the Third Republic.

The 14th of July 1789 is the date of the Storming of the Bastille, a key event in the French Revolution. One year later, the 14th of July became the Festival of the Federation, celebrating the Revolution and the union of the Nation.

The French flag originates from revolutionaries wearing a blue and red cockade, the colors of Paris. Each year a different country is invited as a guest of honor, this year it's India. A lot of museums, like Le Louvre, have a free entrance on Bastille Day.

Festivies

Military Parade

During the day, a military parade is organized in most cities. The one in Paris is held at the Champs-Elysées and is opened by the Patrouille de France (the French Acrobatic Patrol).

As the guests arrived, The Federation provided a chest containing saddles and summoned horses for each participant. This was done to ensure that everyone had a means of transportation at the beginning of the event. Once all the guests had arrived, an announcement was made instructing the participants to place the eggs at the front line, while the players were asked to stay behind. A procession then took place, with everyone walking towards the triumphal arch, accompanied by music playing in the background.

Le bal des pompiers

On the 13th and 14th of July, fire stations open their doors during the evening and throughout the night to celebrate the national holiday, anyone is welcome to the party!

Fireworks

Fireworks shows are held in all cities of France. It is meant to symbolize the nation's unity. In Paris, people gather around the Eiffel Tower to watch the musical show with the Fireworks.

After the participants walked with the cavalry, it was time to blow up the fireworks. The spectacle was much appreciated, with colorful fireworks that were set by The Federation that lasted several minutes in the sky. In the end, the participants were surprised with a firework resembling the flag of France.

After the fireworks show ended, it was time to try the typical food of the event in the Cafe that stood next to the Arc de Triomphe. Afterwards, they started spider-manning attaching themselves with grappling hooks and attached to the Arc de Triomphe to party. They quickly got the idea to turn Foolish into a living piñata as a joke, but Fit accidentally killed him in the middle of the fun, taking one of his presidential lives.

As a reward, everyone got Foolish's head, a direct reference to the tradition of guillotining a king, and the Bastille Day was now an Impersonate-Foolish event.

Trivia
