Europe Day is celebrated on May 9 and symbolizes the success of the European Union, including the euro, the flag or the anthem.

This organization is materialized a year later, in 1951, by the Treaty of Paris, which created the European Community of Coal and Steel Community (ECSC).
Since then, May 9 has become one of the European symbols.
This day is celebrated in all 27 Member States of the European Union with hundreds of activities to bring Europe closer to the citizens.
