French National Day, also known as Bastille Day, is celebrated on the 14th of July each year. In Mayotte, a French overseas department since 2011, this day is marked with various local festivities alongside the national celebrations that commemorate the French Revolution.
The day has its roots in the storming of the Bastille on July 14, 1789, a pivotal event in the French Revolution that symbolized the uprising against monarchy and the fight for liberty. While Mayotte was not part of France during the revolution, it adopted this national holiday following its attachment to France.
