Summer Concert in a French Square
detailed

France's national holiday on July 14 recalls both the storming of the Bastille in 1789 and the Fête de la Fédération in 1790. Today, parades, fireworks and community gatherings mark the day. Rosettes, picnics and town-square scenes offer a child-friendly introduction to the French celebration.
