Bastille Day is the largest military parade in Europe held on July 14.
 While previously held elsewhere within or near the capital city, since 1918 to 2023 it has been held on the Champs-lyses, with the participation of the Allies as represented in the Versailles Peace Conference, and with the exception of the period of German occupation from 1940 to 1944 (when the ceremony took place in London under the command of General Charles de Gaulle); and 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic forced its cancellation
 There is also the annual Bastille Day Ball, taking place since 1924 to 2023
