Every 14th of July, a military parade takes place on the Champs Élysées. The Tour de France finishes on the Champs Élysées every year. It has held parades after victories, and even after the fall of France during World War II. Yes, Hitler had a parade down the street for defeating Paris. But a few years later Charles de Gaulle had a parade for the liberation of Paris.
