The expression "Bastille Day" exists only in English.
The French name for France's national day is Fête Nationale, or more simply, le quatorze juillet.
The French name does not include "Bastille" because it commemorates the first day of the Fête de la Fédération in July 14, 1790, more than the storming of the Bastille jail on July 14, 1789.
The latter is viewed as the historical starting day of the French Revolution and a rather destructive process, while the former is more constructive and ultimately led to the foundation of the first French Republic two years later, on September 22, 1792.
