About
France's national day opens with a military parade down the Champs-Élysées, from the Arc de Triomphe toward Place de la Concorde. Kids watch jets trail blue, white and red smoke overhead, then helicopters, marching troops, armored vehicles and the mounted Republican Guard. It suits kids who can handle a long wait in a big crowd and loud flyovers. Toddlers and noise-sensitive kids may do better watching the jets from farther away.
Where it is
Avenue des Champs-Élysées
