bonfire night is called "la Saint-Jean" or "la nuit de la Saint-Jean" in French, because of the habit (now quite lost) of having bonfires on the shortest night of the year, the 21st of June.

Do the french celebrate bonfire night?

No, the French do not traditionally celebrate Bonfire Night, which is primarily observed in the United Kingdom on November 5th to commemorate the foiling of the Gunpowder Plot. Instead, France has its own national celebration called Bastille Day on July 14th, which marks the French Revolution's beginning. While some regions in France may have local festivals that include bonfires, they do not have a nationwide observance similar to Bonfire Night.
