Prepare to be dazzled by the fireworks

Every summer, the same ritual unfolds: we gaze up at the sky and allow ourselves to be hypnotized by the biggest pyrotechnic show of the year. Exceptionally taking place on Monday, July 13, the fireworks for the National Day will light up the Eiffel Tower as night falls. For the best views, head to the Champ de Mars, the Trocadéro, the Bir-Hakeim Bridge, or the banks of the Seine. One piece of advice: arrive early, very early, because the prime spots disappear as quickly as the rockets do.
