14 July - French National Holiday in Liege, Belgium
The city of Liège also celebrates July 14, in reference to the French Revolution, with more enthusiasm than it will show next Sunday for the Belgian national holiday. It was in 1937 that the city decided to celebrate the French National Day in order to protest against Belgium's policy of neutrality vis-à-vis Nazi Germany and against the denunciation of the Franco-Belgian military agreement by the government. .
Usually, two weeks before this event opens the Village Gaulois, place Saint-Paul, at the foot of the Cathedral. A number of chalets offer French and Walloon dishes and drinks to onlookers who can, at their leisure, linger on a terrace or even play a game of pétanque with casual friends.
