This year, Frenchmen and friends of the community gathered at Sofitel Macau for a spectacular celebration with music, wine and exceptional cuisine in the presence of Macau government representatives and Mr Eric Berti, Consulate General of France in Hong Kong and Macau. “The 14th of July not only commemorates the storming of the Bastille in 1789, but also the Fête de la Fédération on 14 July 1790 when the King rallied the nation for the first anniversary of Bastille Day,” said Berti. “This symbol of unity is particularly relevant today as President Macron and our new government are calling to the country’s driving force to conduct ambitious reforms and revive our country.”
