Savez-vous pourquoi le 14 juillet est une date très importante chez les Français? Parce que c'est un jour férié mais surtout une fête nationale. Cette fête commémore deux évènements. Le premier est la prise de la Bastille le 14 juillet 1789. Le deuxième est la fête de la fédération créée en 1970. Dans cette leçon, nous verrons pourquoi et comment les français célèbrent cette fête nationale.
Quel spectacle les francais peuvent-ils admirer le soir du 14 juillet, dans toutes les villes de France ?
Nous allons vous montrer la réponse à la fin de cette vidéo.
La fête du 14 juillet existe depuis 1880. La prise de la Bastille qui a eu lieu le même jour en 1789 symbolise le début de la Révolution Française. En effet des Parisiens en colère contre la monarchie s'emparent ce jour là de la vieille forteresse, qui était également une prison. La fête de la fédération est créée en 1790 par l'Assemblée. Elle incarne l'unité, la réconciliation des Français, et célèbre également la prise de la Bastille.
Chaque année depuis 1880, a lieu un défilé militaire à Paris, en présence du Président de la République. Les militaires sont à pieds, à cheval, en voiture ou dans des avions. Ils descendent l'avenue des Champs Élysées, la place de l’Étoile et vont jusqu’à la place de la Concorde, où ils saluent le président et son gouvernement. Ce défilé attire des milliers de Français. Ceux qui ne peuvent venir le voir à Paris le regardent à la TV. Les deux chaines françaises qui diffusent cet évènement attirent des millions de téléspectateurs chaque année.
Le soir les Français peuvent faire la fête puisque des bals sont organisés dans la plupart des villes. Ils ont le choix car différents styles de bals et de musiques sont proposés au sein même d'une seule ville. A Paris, le bal le plus populaire est le bal des Pompiers.
Il est organisé dans la caserne même des pompiers et réunit des personnes de tous les âges, toutes les professions.
Le saviez-vous? La plupart des Français ignorent que le 14 Juillet célèbre deux évènements. En général ils pensent que c'est en la mémoire de la prise de la Bastille uniquement! La fête de la fédération reste méconnue, même en France.
Et maintenant, je vais vous donner la réponse du quiz vu plus tôt.
Le soir du 14 juillet, les Français peuvent admirer des feux d'artifices, tirés dans la plupart des villes. C'est une tradition qui existe depuis la création du la fête nationale, en 1880. A Paris, le feu d'artifice du Trocadéro rassemble a lui seul des milliers de visiteurs.
Comment était cette leçon? Avez-vous appris des choses intéressantes?
Et dans votre pays, avez vous une fête nationale? Que se passe t-il de spécial ce jour là?
Merci pour vos messages et vos explications sur le 4 juillet !
Cela doit être une belle fête ! 😄

Awesome lesson! I knew nothing about either of those French holidays. Thank you. As you know, we in the U.S.A. have July 4 when we celebrate our independence from England. Parades and Fireworks are the main events that day.

At 01:39, it seems to be it should be "...... ne peuvent pas venir ......" according to the audio.
The "pas" is missing in the subtitle however.
