At 2pm, the brass band kicks off the festivities, <\/span>with a revisited version of La Marseillaise<\/i>.

At <\/span>4.30pm, the Police Band will perform on the stage in front of the new embassy building.

Finally, DJ Nina Hellis will take over the Atrium until 9:30 p.m., to bring you the grand bal populaire! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" On Sunday July 13, 2025, on the Promenade de Telfair in Moka, the Embassy of France in Mauritius is organizing a major public event, open to all, to celebrate the French national holiday of July 14!
