France celebrated Bastille Day on Monday with a major military parade and military jet flyovers in Paris. The country’s Bastille Day celebrations are also expected to feature fireworks and a drone light show over the Eiffel Tower.

According to Euro News, roughly 7,000 people were expected to march or ride in Monday’s Bastille Day military parade on Champs-Élysées avenue in Paris. The outlet noted that Bastille Day, which is France’s most prominent holiday, commemorates the storming of the Bastille fortress and prison on July 14, 1789, which marked the start of the French Revolution against France’s monarchy.

The Associated Press reported that French President Emmanuel Macron reviewed the French troops and lit the eternal flame under the Arc de Triomphe as part of the Bastille Day ceremony on Monday.

In a video shared by Macron on X, formerly Twitter, French fighter jets can be seen flying over Monday’s military parade, with the red, white, and blue colors of the French flag trailing behind.

The French president also shared pictures from the military parade alongside the translated caption, “Recognition, trust, and pride for our armies that defend our freedom.”

According to The Associated Press, France hosts a special guest each year for the Bastille Day celebrations. The outlet noted that this year’s special guest was Indonesia.

A video of Indonesian troops marching in France’s parade and Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto greeting Macron was shared on the French president’s social media page.

The Associated Press reported that the Indonesian delegation in Monday’s military parade included 200 traditional drummers.

In addition to the Indonesian troops, The Associated Press reported that Belgian and Luxembourg troops serving as part of NATO’s force in Romania and Finnish troops serving as part of the United Nations force in Lebanon also were featured in Monday’s military parade.
