The CIA world factbook cites the dates of 486 (unification of the French tribes and fall of the romans) or the date of 843 (division of Charlemagne's empire). French historians often cite the date of 1214 (victory of the French king Philippe-Auguste against a coalition of foreign or feudal enemies), as the start of the "sentiment national" (sense of belonging to the same nation), rather than an hypothetic date of creation for France.

The national day commemorates the storming of the Bastille, a prison and castle in Paris, on the 14th of July, 1789, marking the beginning of the French Revolution.
