Held each year on 14 July, the national holiday marks the storming of the Bastille fortress in 1789, a key event from the French Revolution.
President Emmanuel Macron was joined by European leaders, including the UK's Sir Keir Starmer and Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky, as soldiers from Ukraine and its 'Coalition of the Willing' allies passed by.
The BBC's James Waterhouse reports on the day's celebrations.
Producer: Marianne Baisnée.
