France celebrated its biggest holiday Monday with 7,000 people marching, on horseback or riding armored vehicles along the cobblestones of the Champs-Elysees, the most iconic avenue in Paris.

The Bastille Day parade in 2017 on the Champs-Élysées in Paris inspired Donald Trump to plan a military parade in Washington to commemorate the U.S. Army’s 250th birthday.

Bastille Day is France's biggest holiday, celebrated annually on 15 July to commemorate the Storming of the Bastille in 1789 that sparked the French Revolution. View on euronews
