🇫🇷 Bastille Day in Florida: Finding Freedom and French Flavor from Home


July 14th marks Bastille Day—France’s national holiday, known as La Fête Nationale. It commemorates the storming of the Bastille prison in 1789, a key turning point in the French Revolution. But more than just a history lesson, Bastille Day symbolizes freedom, fresh starts, and the power of reclaiming control over your future.

Sound familiar?

If you’re thinking about buying a home—especially a new construction home—it’s not that different. You’re breaking free from renting, stepping into something custom, and building the life you want.

And while most of us here in Central Florida aren’t surrounded by cobblestone streets or croissants on every corner, that doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate a little French charm, right from home.

🏡 New Beginnings—French Style

What makes Bastille Day so compelling—even if you're thousands of miles from Paris—is its celebration of reinvention. The idea that where you live, and how you live, matters.

When you choose to build or buy a new home, you're claiming that same sense of freedom. You’re choosing:

  • The layout that works for you

  • The kitchen finishes that spark joy

  • The neighborhood that fits your life now and in the future

In a way, every buyer starts their own small revolution: moving forward, investing in stability, and building something lasting.

🥐 Local French Flair? Try EPCOT

While traditional French cafés and patisseries are few and far between in Davenport, you can enjoy a bit of France right here in Central Florida—thanks to EPCOT’s France Pavilion at Walt Disney World.

Stop by Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie for a pastry or espresso, or treat yourself to an elegant dinner at Chefs de France. It's a great way to enjoy the ambiance of France without ever leaving Florida.

Even at home, you can create a little moment of your own with:

  • A fresh croissant or baguette from your local market

  • French jazz or café music playing in the background

  • A quiet, candlelit dinner under your back patio lights

It’s not about being fancy—it’s about being intentional.

🗝 Home Is Your Personal Revolution

Bastille Day reminds us that we’re not stuck. Whether you’re buying your first home or building your forever one, it’s all about freedom, choice, and the space to live life on your terms.

If you're ready to begin your own new chapter—I'm here to help. As a local Realtor who understands the journey (and the paperwork), I’d love to help you find a home you’re proud to celebrate in.

Happy Bastille Day—from my Florida porch to yours. 🇫🇷🏠
