大家參考一下嘍!
今夏七月計畫到法國自助旅行的朋友，不妨參考以下活動：
1. Tour de France (環法自行車賽) 7/4~7/26
在法國，每年七月的環法自行車賽可是一等一的大事，同時也是世界各地自行車同好心目中的年度重要賽事，今年已舉辦第102屆。今年車賽於7月4日起，從荷蘭烏特勒支(Utrecht) 出發，經過法國北部的阿拉斯(Arras) 到瓦訥 (Vannes)，繼續往南到深具挑戰性的庇里牛斯和阿爾卑斯山區，最後將於7/26回到巴黎香榭麗舍大道，衝刺爭取最終勝利。
July in France means the return of the Tour de France, bringing with it a wave of cycling enthusiasm across the nation. Beginning on 4 July with an individual time trial in utrecht in the Netherlands, the cyclists will cover much of northern France from Arras to Vannes, and then head south to the testing mountain stages in the Pyrenees and the Alps. The race will finish with the traditional sprint along the Champs-Élysées on 26 July.

2. Festival d’Avignon (亞維儂藝術節) 7/4~7/25
由尚．維拉(Jean Vilar) 於1947年創始的亞維儂藝術節，在劇場藝術上面的發展，使每年的內、外亞維儂藝術節 (Festival d’Avignon In 和 Festival d’Avignon Off) t成為每年的世界劇壇盛事，估計有15萬的參訪人次。今年台灣也有包含「在劇場」、「8213肢體舞蹈劇場」、「冉而山劇場」、「驫舞劇場」以及「河床劇團」共5個表演團體通過遴選，將在這個盛譽國際的表演藝術平台一展身手。前四個團隊皆在合作已久之絲品劇院演出，將於7月5日至25日演出20場；驫舞劇場則獲得外亞維儂現代舞蹈指標場地法國國立舞蹈發展中心CDC- Les Hivernales邀請，於10日至20日演出10場。
During July, Avignon is transformed into an open-air theatre with performances being staged across the town during the annual Festival d’Avignon. Taking place from 4-25 July, and expected to attract more than 150,000 visitors, the festival is a cultural highlight of the summer with performances in iconic locations such as the court of the Palais des Papes. The festival began in 1947 with a performance of Shakespeare’s play Richard II arranged by Jean Vilar, and now features a range of genres including music, theatre, dance and literature.

3. Festival de Carcassonne (卡爾卡松藝術節) 7/6~8/1
雖然不若亞維儂藝術節知名，但也是非常值得一遊的盛大藝術節，內容包含電影、音樂會、演唱會、馬戲等各類演出。
卡爾卡松古城以中世紀防禦工事馳名，保有歐洲最大且最完整的內外雙層城牆，內牆為羅馬式城壘，外圍為哥德式城牆，雙牆綿延三公里如巨龍迤邐盤據。1997年聯合國教科文組織(UNESCO) 授於卡爾卡松「歐洲最古老的城堡」和「世界文化遺產」稱號。
若是在7/14法國國慶日前後抵達的話，千萬別錯過卡爾卡松的煙火秀。去年約有70萬人聚集在這個歷史要塞旁的奧德(Aude) 河岸上觀賞絢爛的國慶煙火。
The medieval cité of Carcassonne is a delight to visit at any time of year, but especially during the summer months, when two key events take place. The Festival de Carcassonne (6 July to 1 August) celebrates its 10th anniversary this year, with some 100 performances ranging from circus events through to classical concerts. And, if you’re in the area on 14 July for France’s Fête Nationale, don’t miss the impressive firework display over Carcassonne’s historic ramparts. Last year, around 700,000 people gathered on the banks of the River Aude at the foot of the citéto see the skies light up in celebration.

5. Bastille Day (法國國慶日) 7/14
為什麼法國國慶日的另一個說法是巴士底日呢？這是為了紀念在1789年7月14日巴黎群眾攻克了象徵封建統治的巴士底獄，從而揭開法國大革命序幕。
除了早上的閲兵典禮，晚上還有許多的煙火秀，其中最精彩的當屬在巴黎香榭麗舍大道上那一場，晚上就像在台北101前的廣場跨年一樣，擠滿了來看煙火的人。
It goes without saying that Bastille Day, or the Fête Nationale de 14 Juillet, as it is known in France, is a key date across the Channel. The date marks the storming of the Bastille prison in Paris in 1789, which signalled the beginning of the French Revolution, and is celebrated with fireworks across the country, while Paris marks the occasion with a spectacular military parade.
