President Emmanuel Macron made a grand entrance at the 2025 Bastille Day celebrations in Paris, marking France’s National Day with military pride, historic symbolism, and Olympic flair. One of the most memorable moments was the ceremonial handover of the sword, a tradition rich in honor and national identity.
Held on the iconic Champs-Élysées, the parade featured elite military units, fighter jet flyovers, and thousands of troops, as Macron reviewed the forces with full presidential ceremony. This year's celebrations also echoed the spirit of unity and resilience, with special tributes to WWII heroes and France’s liberators.
