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.

France celebrates Bastille Day on Monday with parades, fireworks, and festivities nationwide. The holiday marks the 1789 storming of the Bastille prison, a pivotal moment in the French Revolution.
