Will cafes/restaurants be open for business on Bastille Day? We will be staying in Aix en Provence. Will tourist sites be open?

The Louvre, Musée D’Orsay and Versailles Palace are all open on Bastille Day, as are many other attractions. Restaurants generally are open. as are food stores. Because of the crowds out & about, it’s best to make restaurant reservations if you’ll be dining out.

Usually all of the tourist sites are open on 14th July along with restaurants. Clothing stores may be closed but, at least around me, even the grocery stores are open at least through the morning. July 15th can be more of a challenge but still tourist sites are typically open. It's fun to be in France for their national holiday! I hope you enjoy your visit!
