Fete Nationale
National holiday. The military parade on the Champs-Elysees, the fireworks over the Eiffel Tower, the balls in every fire station, and the understanding that this is the day France celebrates the storming of a prison that had only seven prisoners in it, because the symbol matters more than the facts, and the symbol is liberté, egalité, fraternité.

Jour de la Marseillaise
Proposed. La Marseillaise is the most violent national anthem in the world, and every French person who sings it knows that the lyrics are about watering the fields with the blood of the enemy, which is a lot of blood, and a lot of fields, and the anthem is sung with passion, because the French do not do anything without passion, including revolution.
