Orchestre National de France live in Paris

Experience Orchestre National de France live on July 14th

Orchestre National de France will perform a concert at the Champ de Mars in Paris on July 14, 2026. The Orchestre National de France is renowned as one of France’s leading symphony orchestras, performing a broad repertoire spanning from Baroque to contemporary compositions. While historically rooted in the French symphonic tradition – often showcasing works by composers like Debussy, Ravel, and Messiaen – the orchestra regularly performs music from across the globe and commissions new pieces.

The Champ de Mars is a large public greenspace located in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, stretching from the Eiffel Tower to the École Militaire. Originally a training ground (“Champ de Mars” translates to “Field of Mars”), it has a significant historical role as a site for national celebrations and demonstrations. It was notably used for the Exposition Universelle of 1889, coinciding with the construction of the Eiffel Tower, and has hosted numerous military parades and large-scale public events throughout its history. July 14th specifically is Bastille Day, France’s national day commemorating the storming of the Bastille in 1789; public celebrations are traditional on this date.
