Abstract
Four days after the taking of the Bastille on 14 July 1789, Charles Villette proposed that henceforth on that day, a ‘national festival’ be held. Between that time and the final official determination of the programme for a festival, various circumstances occurred which made the first 14 July celebration more than a commemoration of the event which began ‘the epoch of our resurrection’. When, in early June 1790, the National Assembly decided in favour of a celebration to take place in Paris on the coming 14 July the occasion was to be a Festival of Federation.
