1. In France, nobody calls it “Bastille Day.”

The day is referred to as la Fête Nationale, or “the National Holiday.” In more informal settings, French people also call it le Quatorze Juillet (“14 July”). “Bastille Day” is an English term that’s seldom used within French borders—at least by non-tourists.
