July 13, 2026 Fireworks in Paris: Experience the National Holiday from Montmartre

On Monday, July 13, 2026, Paris will come alive with the excitement of Bastille Day, featuring its famous fireworks display launched from the Eiffel Tower. While the Champ-de-Mars attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors every year, guests staying at the Hôtel Boronali have the chance to experience another side of this evening: the unique atmosphere of Montmartre, with its cobblestone streets, lively terraces, and panoramic views of the capital.

Why stay in Montmartre on July 13?

Just a few minutes’ walk from the Hôtel Boronali, the Sacré-Cœur Basilica offers one of the most beautiful views of Paris. Even though the fireworks are set off in the southwest of the capital, the heights of Montmartre allow you to admire the lights in the Parisian sky while enjoying a more authentic atmosphere than the area around the Eiffel Tower.

The neighborhood retains its village-like atmosphere well into the evening: street performers, musicians, open cafés, and passersby create a quintessentially Parisian atmosphere.

Must-See Attractions to Check Out Before the Show

Make the most of your day to explore the neighborhood's treasures:

· The Basilica of the Sacred Heart, the symbol of Montmartre.

· Place du Tertre, famous for its painters and portrait artists.

· The "I Love You" Wall, a few subway stops away.

· The Montmartre Vineyards, an unusual spot right in the heart of Paris.

· The Moulin de la Galette, a testament to the neighborhood’s history.

Watch the fireworks from the Boronali Hotel

Thanks to the Château Rouge station (Line 4), located just a 2-minute walk from the hotel, it’s easy to get to downtown Paris if you’d like to watch the show from the banks of the Seine or the Trocadéro.

After the fireworks, you'll find the tranquility of Montmartre, far from the hustle and bustle of large crowds.
