Vive la France! Celebrating Bastille Day and French Influences
July 14th marks Bastille Day, France’s national holiday, commemorating the storming of the Bastille prison in 1789 and serving as a symbol of the French Revolution. While it’s a day of grand celebrations across France with parades, fireworks, and dancing, it’s also a wonderful opportunity for us to recognize and appreciate the profound French influences woven into the fabric of our own culture, even right here in our area. From subtle culinary delights to artistic inspirations and even elements of language, French heritage has enriched our lives in countless ways, often without us even realizing it.
So, how can we celebrate this spirit of “Liberté, égalité, fraternité” in our own communities? Perhaps it’s by seeking out local bakeries for a perfectly flaky croissant or baguette, or exploring a restaurant that offers classic French bistro fare. We might immerse ourselves in French cinema, listen to some classic French chansons, or simply appreciate the elegance of French design and fashion that has permeated global trends. Bastille Day invites us to embrace a bit of joie de vivre and acknowledge the lasting contributions of French culture that add such a rich layer to our diverse local landscape.
