The History of Bastille Day: A Revolution for the People – And What It Can Teach Us About Real Estate

The History of Bastille Day: Liberty, Equality, and a Little Bit of Chaos

Every year on July 14th, France throws the ultimate freedom party—Bastille Day (La Fête Nationale). It commemorates the Storming of the Bastille in 1789, when citizens finally had enough of King Louis XVI’s lavish lifestyle and outdated rules.

The Bastille wasn’t just a prison; it symbolized the royal system’s stranglehold on everyday people. Unfair taxation, unchecked power, and a disconnected elite sparked a full-on revolution. The people tore down the walls (literally and figuratively), and from the rubble rose democracy and a declaration of human rights.

Modern Bastille Day: A Celebration of Freedom

Today, Bastille Day is a mix of pageantry and party, reminding us that freedom is worth fighting for.

• 🇫🇷 Military Parades down the Champs-Élysées

• 🎆 Fireworks at the Eiffel Tower lighting up the Paris sky

• 💃 Public Balls and Street Feasts in towns big and small

The message? When a system stops serving the people, it’s time for change.

From Royalty to Real Estate: A New Revolution Begins

Sound familiar?

The traditional real estate commission model feels just as outdated. Home sellers are still expected to hand over 5–6% of their home’s value—tens of thousands of dollars—just to list their property. Why? Because “that’s how it’s always been done.”

But this isn't 1789. In a world of online tools, digital listings, and smart buyers, those bloated commissions feel less like service and more like a system rigged against you.
