Bastille Day is the French national holiday commemorating the storming of the Bastille which marked the beginning of the French Revolution. The Bastille was a prison and a symbol of the absolute power of Louis the 16th's Ancient Regime. While the Bastille only contained seven prisoners at the time of its capture, the storming of the prison was a symbol of liberty and the fight against oppression for all French citizens.

Parisians celebrate this national holiday with a grand military parade up the Champs Elysees, arts festivals, and raucous parties. So uncork a bottle of French wine, or better yet French champagne, and toast our French friends on this day.
