The celebrations in Paris began with President Emmanuel Macron inspecting troops and relighting the eternal flame beneath the Arc de Triomphe.
Over 7,000 participants marched down the Champs-Elysées, including international contingents.
The Paris event included flyovers by fighter jets, trailing red, white and blue smoke.
Every year, France hosts a special guest for Bastille Day, and this year it’s Indonesia, with President Prabowo Subianto representing the world’s largest Muslim country, which is also a major Asian economic and military player.
