- France's fête nationale is celebrated annually on the 14th July with nationwide firework displays, street parties, dancing and other local festivities. The date was chosen because of its symbolic significance, commemorating the fall of the Bastille in 1789 which signalled the end of the Ancien Régime.

- The lower house of the French parliament, in which 577 députés are elected for a five-year term. A member, who must be at least 23 years old, has to be elected by at least 50% of the votes cast and, if necessary, a second round of voting is held to ensure this. Party affiliation is indicated by a député's allocation to a seat within a left-right gradation in the semi-circular chamber.
The Assemblée nationale passes laws, votes on the Budget, and questions ministers (who cannot be députés).
