14/07/2023 Esplanade des Invalides
Honouring the tradition of Bastille Day, celebrated annually on July 14th, Paris once again played host to a dazzling military parade in 2023. The crowd gathered around Champs-Élysées was treated to a flypast featuring various aircraft from the French Armed Forces, as well as international participants, including Indian Air Force Rafales, F-16s from Belgium, and Typhoon from the Royal Air Force. Following the parade, some of the helicopters that participated in the flypast landed on the grass around Esplanade des Invalides, where they remained until late afternoon. A collection of images from that remarkable day is presented below.
