it is the french national day, when, on the 14th of July 1789 the people attacked a famous prison in the Bastille area in Paris. The prison was practically empty, but it was a symbol for the monarchy. It was the beginning of the french revolution and the end of the monarchy

It commemorates the French Revolution, when they stormed the Bastille (prison). It's somewhat symbolic of the rise of democracy, where the people are "freed" from the chains of monarchy.
