Bastille Day - Saturday 14th July

It's Bastille Day on Saturday!  French National Day or La Fête Nationale, as it's called officially, is celebrated each year on the 14th July.  Held on the anniversary of the 1788 storming of the Bastille fortress it symbolises the uprising of the modern nation and celebrates the start of the French Revolution.  Festivities are traditionally held all over France and we thought we would join in and show you some of the ever popular, stylish French antiques to be found at Alfies.
