Here we are: the national holiday is approaching quickly, which means that France will be filled with celebrations and, of course, the traditional fireworks lighting up all corners of the Hexagon. This year in Paris, there’s a special twist: the fireworks will be set off on the evening of July 13 instead of the 14th. Indeed, July 14, 2026, will also mark the tenth anniversary of the Nice attacks — so the capital wants to give this event the respect it deserves.

We know that in Paris, the national holiday fireworks are always a grand spectacle. And this year will surely be no exception! So to make the most of it, here are 5 spots to admire them.


TOO Restaurant

It is undoubtedly one of the establishments that offers the most spectacular views.

Beautiful view of the capital. For the national holiday, TOO Restaurant invites you to a gathering 120 meters high to admire the festivities and the fireworks up close. You can choose between two experiences: the main dining room menu (€85) or the front-row menu facing the fireworks (€115). 

Address: 65 Rue Bruneseau, 75013 Paris


The Sacré-Cœur 

If you're not looking to spend money for the evening, there are plenty of free spots up high where you can enjoy the show just as well. One of them is the Sacré-Cœur which, at 130 meters above sea level, overlooks the capital. You won't be disappointed !

Address: 35 Rue du Chevalier de la Barre, 75018 Paris 


Fuga R.

Head to Fuga R., the rooftop with a volcanic decor in the 8th district. Here, you'll be treated to a 360° view of Paris. It's truly the perfect spot to enjoy the festivities of July 13th, cocktails in hand and sharing plates on the table

Belvédère Willy-Ronis 

Head to the east of Paris to see the fireworks being set off in the west? Yes, we assure you, it’s a great idea. At the heart of Belleville Park, if you climb up to the Belvédère Willy-Ronis, you'll enjoy one of the most spectacular views of Paris.

Kinugawa Rive Gauche

Dear friends of the Left Bank, we haven’t forgotten you! At Kinugawa, we come as much for the sunset as for the fireworks launched from the Eiffel Tower. The bonus? A menu specially crafted for the occasion, along with signature cocktails that never disappoint. That’s the secret to the dream evening!
