In this episode, we dive into the history behind France’s national holiday: July 14th, also known as Bastille Day. Why is this date so important in French culture? What exactly happened on July 14th, 1789? I explain the symbolic storming of the Bastille, how it marked the beginning of the French Revolution, and how it led to the fall of the monarchy and the birth of the Republic. We also look at how the French celebrate this day today : with fireworks, parades, and a strong sense of national pride. A perfect blend of history and language learning!
