What the Fourth of July is for the United States, Bastille Day is for France. Fireworks go off around Paris, there’s a massive military parade, and lots of partying in celebration of the symbolic end of the French monarchy. Bastille Day is celebrated in the United States, too; many French organizations fete the day in cities around the country. And you should celebrate, too. Why? For a reason to cook up a fancy French dinner or picnic, of course. We’ve rounded up 18 recipes that are perfect for a Bastille Day bash–from ratatouille to rillettes and Provencal chicken to pot au feu–so you can revel in the revolution stateside.
