To date, a few cities such as Strasbourg, Nîmes, Roubaix, Perpignan have canceled the July 14 fireworks, as well as some suburban towns (10 in the Paris suburbs).
Some fireworks are also canceled due to the current heat wave and the risk of fire.
Hundreds of other cities have not (or not yet) canceled the fireworks which may take place on the 13th or 14th depending on the city
Just for information, nobody says Bastille Day in France, but simply Fête Nationale (National Day)
