France celebrated its biggest holiday Monday with 7,000 people marching, on horseback or riding armored vehicles along the cobblestones of the Champs-Elysees, the most iconic avenue in Paris.

Today is Le 14 Juillet, also known as Bastille Day, when France celebrates a pivotal moment in the French Revolution.

For the first time, 1,000 drones animated the sky above the Champ de Mars and the Trocadéro.
