THE BEST SPOTS TO WATCH THE JULY 14TH FIREWORKS

 

 

Every July 14th, Paris puts on a spectacular show. At 11 p.m., the Eiffel Tower becomes the centerpiece of a dazzling light performance: a grand fireworks display lights up the sky from the Trocadéro Gardens. It’s a highly anticipated moment, celebrated and shared by thousands of spectators from across the city — and far beyond. A green rooftop, a private cruise on the Seine, an exclusive suite with a view... What if this year, you experienced Bastille Day differently? Here’s our selection of the most stunning spots to watch the fireworks with an unforgettable view of the Eiffel Tower.

 

 

 

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL
public spots

CHAMP-DE-MARS: THE CLASSIC CHOICE, AT THE FOOT OF THE EIFFEL TOWER

It’s undoubtedly the most popular spot to admire the fireworks. Each year, the vast lawn of the Champ-de-Mars welcomes thousands of spectators who come to enjoy the symphonic concert, followed by the fireworks show — all with the Eiffel Tower as a stunning backdrop.

The atmosphere is vibrant, festive, and at times breathtaking. However, the crowds can make the experience feel less intimate. This is the perfect place if you enjoy large gatherings, open-air events, and the shared thrill of a city celebrating in unison.

 
THE SEINE RIVERBANKS: FOR A ROMANTIC AND POETIC VIEWPOINT

Some views are made for those who appreciate calm and reflection. Along the Seine, especially between Pont de l’Alma and Passerelle Debilly, the Eiffel Tower stands in all its vertical glory. And when the first fireworks rise into the sky, their brilliance dances across the calm waters of the river.

The show is less direct than at Champ-de-Mars, but just as moving. It’s the perfect choice for a romantic evening, far from the crowds — where you can stroll slowly, sip a drink, and gaze up at the stars.

THE HEIGHTS OF PARIS: MONTMARTRE, BELLEVILLE, AND SAINT-CLOUD

Looking for a panoramic view over the entire city? Paris’s hills offer wide-open perspectives of rooftops and landmarks, with the Eiffel Tower right in sight. From the Montmartre hilltop or the lawns of Parc de Belleville, you can enjoy the fireworks from a distance — but with an impressive overall view.

Another peaceful alternative: Parc de Saint-Cloud, to the west of the capital. Less crowded, it overlooks Paris and offers a serene, nature-filled setting, with the city lights as your only horizon.

SECRET ROOFTOPS
with a view

CRÉATURES: A JULY 14TH AT THE TOP OF GALERIES LAFAYETTE

A hanging garden, sun-drenched Mediterranean cuisine, and breathtaking views over all of Paris — welcome to Créatures, the lush rooftop perched atop Galeries Lafayette.

On the evening of July 14th, the atmosphere becomes warmer while staying effortlessly chic. The Eiffel Tower stands tall on the horizon, and the fireworks can be admired in a setting that’s both festive and relaxed. It’s the perfect spot for those who appreciate a blend of aesthetics, fine dining, and urban panoramas.

 

LES OMBRES: AN EXCEPTIONAL DINNER WITH A VIEW OF THE EIFFEL TOWER

Perched atop the Musée du Quai Branly – Jacques Chirac, the restaurant Les Ombres offers a stunning setting facing the Eiffel Tower. The view is spectacular, the ambiance refined, and the cuisine perfectly matches the moment.

On the evening of July 14th, the terrace becomes an open-air theater. Just a few dozen meters from the fireworks, you're comfortably seated, drink in hand. The modern, inspired cuisine mirrors the boldness of the show. It's the ideal address for a chic evening, whether as a couple or with friends.

A PRIVATE CRUISE
on the Seine

If there were just one truly unique way to watch the July 14th fireworks in Paris... it would undoubtedly be from the Seine.

Les Yachts de Paris offer a one-of-a-kind experience: an elegant cruise along the river, complete with gourmet dining, high-end service, and a serene, intimate atmosphere. On board, everything is designed for refinement. And when the yacht pauses in front of the Eiffel Tower, the first fireworks begin to light up the sky.

The display reflects in the water, creating a breathtaking choreography. It’s intimate, majestic, and unforgettable — the perfect experience for a romantic evening, a family celebration, or a private event.
