Today, July 14th is Bastille Day in France
“Bastille Day is the French national holiday, celebrated on 14 July each year. In France, it is called “Fête Nationale” (“National Celebration”), in official parlance, or more commonly “quatorze juillet” (14 July). It commemorates the 1790 Fête de la Fédération, held on the first anniversary of the storming of the Bastille on 14 July 1789; the anniversary of the storming of the Bastille was seen as a symbol of the uprising of the modern French nation, and of the reconciliation of all the French inside the constitutional monarchy which preceded the First Republic, during the French Revolution. …” (1)

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackAnother good, educational article on Bastile Day and what it’s all about. I encourage you to continue providing i-shoptheworld.com readers with these glimpses into cultural practices and events. Makes one realize that every day is a holiday–somewhere. I personally like to declare my own holidays and create special occasions. Those are good times to serve special foods like you offer here or even share special gifts. Like I’m thinking about having stuffed toy day soon as a special occasion with my grandkids. I could do a “jam” event or a museum event to show off my jewelry and other collections from around the world, especially after I shop a bit at this online store.
