Strange why the french make such a big deal - it was such an understated event. There were hardly any prisoners in the bastille when it was raided.

I suppose it was the symbolism.
We celebrate the torture and execution of a Catholic.
 


Had one of the best nights out in my life round the Bastille and possibly the drunkest I’ve ever been.

In France, 14 July is simply known as the Fête nationale, with no mention to the Bastille in the name. Of course it does commemorate the taking of the Bastille, but the holiday tends not to focus on that.
