Fete National (Bastille Day)is held once a year on the 14th July. It marks the day when the Bastille (a prison) was stormed and all the prisoners were released. This was basically the beginning of the French revolution. Ask a French person for the exact history behind it! Anyway, the night before there are parties at all the fire stations in Paris and everyone is invited if the behave. At 10am there is a military and fire parade down Le Champs Elysee from L'arc du Triomphe down to Place de la Concorde. At about 11 pm starts the firework display around the Eiffel Tower. This year (2001) the fireworks were launched from the Trocadero. If you are in Paris at this time these two events are NOT to be missed!
