What is feu dartifice?

Feu d'artifice is a French word that means "fireworks" in English. Fireworks are an explosive pyrotechnic display that produces colored flames, sparks, and noise. Fireworks are generally used for special occasions like national holidays, entertainment events (like concerts, sport events), and personal celebrations like weddings, birthdays, and other social events.

The first recorded fireworks display is believed to have taken place in China over 2,000 years ago. Since then, fireworks displays have become a popular form of entertainment all over the world. The raw materials for fireworks include gunpowder, metal salts, and oxidizers.

Fireworks come in different types depending on how they are triggered, how they function, and what colors they produce. Some popular types of fireworks include Roman candles, rockets, fountains, sparklers, and firecrackers.

In France, feu d'artifice displays often take place during national celebrations like the Bastille Day (July 14) and New Year's Eve. They are usually set off from a designated area and can be seen from different parts of the city. Fireworks displays are generally safe when handled carefully and with caution. Safety measures include using a designated firing area, handling the fireworks with gloves and goggles, and keeping a safe distance from the launching area.
