This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Nice attacks. To pay tribute to the victims and their families, the traditional July 14 fireworks display will take place on the evening of July 13. The Eiffel Tower and the Champ-de-Mars will be illuminated by thousands of sparkling colors. This free show promises to leave you spellbound—this year more than ever.
Unforgettable fireworks for Bastille Day
Broadcast live on television, as it is every year, this exceptional evening will begin with a concert by the Orchestre national de France. A moving moment, before the long-awaited fireworks light up the entire Paris sky.
This year, 12 scenes set to original music will light up the sky. They will feature the Seine, the 70th anniversary of the sister-city partnership between Paris and Rome, and the 400th anniversary of the French Navy.
We also know that around 1,600 drones will circle the Eiffel Tower in a truly magnificent aerial ballet. Please note that the show will begin around 11 p.m. and is expected to last about thirty minutes!
