Why go

For people connected to the French community and France-Philippines cultural life, on the evening of the national day. The gathering is in the Makati and BGC area, so it is easy from the central business districts and worth leaving early for if you are coming from Quezon City or the south.

Good to know

By invitation only, not a public ticketed event. Held on or around 14 July; the embassy confirms the 2026 venue and timing closer to the date, so wait for that before planning the evening.

About this event

The Embassy of France marks Bastille Day each July with a reception, traditionally held at the Ambassador's residence. In 2025 Ambassador Marie Fontanel presided over the Makati gathering, continuing a long-standing fixture in the city's calendar. The occasion is by invitation, and the embassy confirms the 2026 venue and timing closer to the date. It is one of the season's reliable July dates for those on the guest list.
