What is Armistice Day (France)?

Armistice Day in France marks November 11, 1918, when the armistice signed in a railway carriage in the forest of Compiègne came into force at 11 a.m., ending the fighting of the First World War. It has been a public holiday in France since 1922 and is also a national holiday in Belgium. Ceremonies take place at war memorials in every town, and the President lays a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier beneath the Arc de Triomphe.

How to celebrate

Mark the day with a poster made in Dayfeed — pick your favourite photo as the background, share it to your story or group chat, and set a reminder so you never miss it next year.
