Fun, Food, and French Flair in your Workplace

July 14th—Bastille Day—is France’s national holiday, marking the storming of the Bastille prison in 1789 and the start of the French Revolution. It’s a day of celebration, culture, and of course, amazing food. Even if you’re far from Paris, there are plenty of ways to bring a taste of France to your workplace. And if you’re based in Sydney, one of the easiest (and most delicious) ways to do that is through these Bastille Day ideas with Flavours Catering.

Here’s how to create a memorable and fun Bastille Day celebration in the office:

1. Create a French-Inspired Office Atmosphere

Transform your space with simple decorations in the French flag colors—blue, white, and red. Add in some Eiffel Tower cutouts, berets, and maybe even a baguette or two for comedic flair. A French playlist will tie it all together.

🎶 Playlist Tip: Try a mix of classics (Édith Piaf, Charles Aznavour) and modern French pop for a relaxed vibe.

Encourage cultural learning with a “Phrase of the Hour” game. Print out a few basic French phrases and post them around the office:

• Bonjour (Hello)

• Merci (Thank you)

• Où est le fromage ? (Where is the cheese?)

• Vive la France! (Long live France!)
