France’s national holiday, Bastille Day was a turning point in the nation’s revolution. On July 14, 1789, a mob stormed the fortress that represented the worst of the old monarchy, and the anniversary has been marked ever since.

In modern times, it’s a day of celebration in France, as well as for Francophiles everywhere.
