The Center’s Bastille Day celebration has been a decades-long summer staple in the Back Bay neighborhood. La Fête Nationale, celebrated on le quatorze juillet, marks the turning point in the French Revolution (you can read more about the day's history here!)
In addition to being historic, it also gives francophones and francophiles an excuse to get together, share great snacks, and cheers to la France !
For more of our recommendations, check out our apéro events. Each features a recipe for a shareable snack and cocktail. You can find our previous listings here. See what other French inspiration exists in this article here for your international celebration at home.

Librarian
Ingrid began her passion for French through the immersion program in Milton, MA, and has followed it around France and the world. She took a break from this first love to pursue a B.A. in English with a minor in Irish Studies at Boston College and a Masters of Library and Information Sciences at Simmons College. She is thrilled to meld her excitement for libraries and French language and culture in her position at the Center!
