Bastille Day 2026: prepare your restaurant for July 13 and 14

Bastille Day is a strong local-search and booking moment for restaurants in France. In Paris in 2026, the key evening is unusually Monday, July 13, because the official fireworks have been moved one day earlier.

Prepare two moments

Plan July 13 as the high-demand dinner and terrace evening, then July 14 as a public-holiday service with brunch, family menus or reservation-only lunch.

Restaurant checklist

• Create a clear fixed menu or terrace offer.
• Open special booking slots for the evening.
• Send confirmation and reminder messages with an easy cancellation link.
• Update Google Business Profile hours and direct booking links.
• Keep a waiting list for late cancellations.
