July 14th is one of the most iconic dates in France. Known as Bastille Day, the national holiday commemorates the storming of the Bastille in 1789 and today symbolizes freedom, celebration, and togetherness across the country. Every year, Paris comes alive with major events including the military parade on the Champs-Élysées, open-air concerts, traditional firemen’s balls, and the spectacular fireworks display near the Eiffel Tower.

Staying at CasaÔ, located in the heart of Paris’ 2nd arrondissement, is the perfect way to experience this festive atmosphere while also discovering more local and authentic spots just steps away from the House.
