Thousands gathered around the Eiffel Tower on Monday 13 July as a spectacular display of fireworks and 1,600 illuminated drones lit up the Paris skyline above the Champ de Mars and Trocadéro. The display was moved forward from its usual 14 July date so that Bastille Day itself could be devoted to commemorating the 10th anniversary of the Nice truck attack, which killed 86 people, including 15 children, and injured 458 others in 2016.
