FranceOn Monday, July 13, thousands of people gathered around the Eiffel Tower in Paris for a special display of fireworks and 1,600 illuminated drones, held earlier than the traditional Bastille Day on July 14. This change allowed the official Bastille Day celebrations on July 14 to focus on commemorating the 10th anniversary of the 2016 Nice truck attack, which resulted in 86 deaths and 458 injuries. Paris Mayor Emmanuel Gregoire and President Emmanuel Macron jointly decided to move the drone and fireworks show. Macron is set to preside over his final Bastille Day military parade as president on Tuesday, accompanied by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, while France prepares to face Spain in the World Cup semi-final later that day.
