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.

A huge fireworks display is held around the Eiffel Tower to mark Bastille Day, the French National Day commemorating the Storming of the Bastille in 1789.
