- DANCING – The 14th of July balls in Paris
- PARADE FROM 14 JULY – Due to the preparations for the Olympic Games, themilitary parade on 14 July 2024 will take place on Avenue Foch (Paris 16th)
- FIREWORKS – It will be fired from the Eiffel Tower from 11 p.m. This very special year, we advise you to find out about the safety and traffic perimeters before July 26 because the Champ-de-Mars and the Trocadero will be difficult to access due to the assembly of the competition sites. To be in the front row, the last departure of the Bateaux-Mouches is at 11 p.m. You can admire the fireworks from the Seine on the boat that leaves at 10:30 pm or 11 pm (we advise you to arrive one hour before the departure of the boat to access the dock) >> BOOK NOW
