7 Of Our Favourite French Brands To Shop This Bastille Day

Who doesn't love the French?

Celebrated annually on the 14th of July, Bastille Day commemorates the fall of the Bastille in Paris. For those who like a little bit of history, Bastille was a medieval fortress that became a state prison during the Bourbon Monarchy. It was during this time that Bastille housed political prisoners and prisoners from the direct order of the king – Bastille symbolised the harsh ruling of the Bourbon Monarchy.

Till today, Bastille Day signifies the taking of the Bastille as the beginning of the French Revolution – thus becoming a symbol of the Ancien régime.
