The only European country facing both the North Sea and the Mediterranean, France has been subject to a particularly rich variety of cultural influences. Though famous for the rootedness of its peasant population, it has also been a European melting pot, even before the arrival of the Celtic Gauls in the centuries before Christ, through to the Mediterranean immigrations of the 20th century.
The National Day of France is the anniversary of the Storming of the Bastille. Bastille Day (common name given in English-speaking countries to the national day of France), celebrated annually on July 14, was chosen as a French national holiday in 1880.
