Celebrate! Celebrate! It’s the time for France to celebrate!
Each July 14th, France honors their independence day with a fête that is similar to a celebration thrown in the United States for our own 4th of July festivities. This French holiday, called Bastille Day, is held to commemorate the storming of the Bastille prison, which ultimately led to the French Revolutionary War.
But which city is bragging the best parade, fireworks, a ball, and two full days of massive parties in the streets? Near the Spanish coast, Marseille is the perfect city to celebrate the holiday, not to mention a GREAT starting point for a cross country adventure! Travel France in a car rental from Marseille to see what other cities have to offer in tribute to the national holiday. You will find parades, parties, and festivals that are sure to provide entertainment for people of all ages!
