Bastille Day is the day of celebrating French life and culture. It is a Fete National; National Celebration similar to Independence Day in the US even though here we actually celebrate the storming of the Bastille political prison, which was a representation of the injustice that many felt towards the french monarchy. It was ravaged and destroyed during the French Revolution. There was an economic crisis and people were fed up with Louis XVI, so here began the french culture of fighting[...]
