French Day returns to the heart of Bratislava to the Main Square again after a year. For the twelfth time we will celebrate with the residents and visitors of the capital the French national holiday, on the anniversary of the storming of the Bastille.
Visitors will be able to stroll around the French market in the Main Square, twenty stalls will offer refreshments in the form of delicious desserts, cheeses and drinks from 14:00.
In addition to French colours and flavours, French language, sports and cosmetics lovers will also find something to their liking.
Just a step away from the Main Square, the French Institute will be hosting creative animations for children and young people as well as a French book fair.
