Bastille Day
14 July 2021
Bizarrely, this has the dual meaning in France, whereas in the English speaking world we tend to think of it as simply commemorating the French Revolution.
"The French can project their own understanding of what is being celebrated. They can choose between the storming of the Bastille and the people; the Fête de la Fédération and national unity; and everything in between.
Or they can simply enjoy a day off and admire the fireworks with their friends and family, oblivious to the complex story behind July 14." From The Conversation
