Fête Nationale de Saint-Cloud

The National Celebration in Saint-Cloud: Panoramic View of Paris Fireworks

Saint-Cloud (92210) enjoys an exceptional geographical position on the hillsides overlooking the Seine and Paris. This privileged location makes it one of the best places in Île-de-France to watch the famous Eiffel Tower fireworks fired every July 14th. The City of Saint-Cloud has understood this and has been organizing a National Celebration at the Jardin des Tourneroches for several years, combining the beauty of the setting, conviviality, and festivity.

The Jardin des Tourneroches: A Natural Setting for the Celebration

The Jardin des Tourneroches is a communal park nestled on the heights of Saint-Cloud, offering a clear view of Paris, the Seine, and the Eiffel Tower. This natural and elegant setting, characteristic of Saint-Cloud's landscape identity, transforms every July 14th into a festive space welcoming several hundred families and guests.

Visitors are invited to book their spots in advance to guarantee access, as the garden's capacity is limited. Entries without reservations are possible after 9 PM subject to availability.

A Complete Festive Program

The National Celebration in Saint-Cloud begins in the evening with a large convivial picnic starting at 7 PM. Participants can bring their own basket or enjoy the many food trucks offering various specialties: Colombian, Asian, Italian cuisine, hot dogs, fries, crepes, and ice cream. Hot and cold drinks are also available.

At 9 PM, the popular ball comes alive with the group B2C, a quartet that performs covers of pop and rock from past and present decades. Dancing, energy, and good cheer reign on the dance floor until the grand moment arrives: the Eiffel Tower fireworks.

From 11 PM, the fireworks fired from the Champ-de-Mars are visible from the Jardin des Tourneroches in all their splendor. Saint-Cloud's height relative to the capital offers an ideal perspective to enjoy the show in its entirety, without the crowds of the Parisian quays.

A Tradition That Builds Saint-Cloud's Reputation

The reputation of July 14th in Saint-Cloud extends far beyond the municipal borders. Residents from Sèvres, Garches, Boulogne-Billancourt, and even Paris make the trip to enjoy this exceptional evening. The combination of an exceptional natural setting, careful organization, and an unobstructed view of the national fireworks makes it one of the most popular July 14th events in the west of Paris.

How to Get There

Saint-Cloud is accessible via Transilien L (Saint-Cloud station) or RER C (Saint-Cloud station). Due to the number of visitors on the evening of July 14th, using public transport is strongly recommended.
