Bastille Day HistoryBastille Day commemorates the storming of the Bastille prison on July 14, 1789, and the subsequent birth of the French Republic. This key event marked the beginning of the French Revolution and symbolized the end of the reign of King Louis XVI and the oppressive monarchy. While primarily a French celebration, Bastille Day also holds significance for the rest of the European Union, since the birth of the French Republic contributed greatly to the shaping of Europe as it is known today. The French Revolution's ideals of liberty, equality, and fraternity eventually inspired a wave of similar democratic movements across the continent. The European Union, being a political and economic union founded on joint principles of democracy and solidarity, also shares some common ground with the values ultimately exemplified by the French Revolution. In the European Union, Bastille Day is observed primarily by the French communities and Francophiles residing in various member states. Informal gatherings, street parties, and cultural events are often organized to celebrate this day. Restaurants and bars may also offer special French menus or host French-themed evenings to mark the occasion, allowing European citizens to embrace and familiarize themselves with the rich history and culture of their fellow member state. As in France, Bastille Day is celebrated every year on July 14th throughout the European Union. Top facts about Bastille Day
