The Visitors: Bastille Day (original title: Les Visiteurs: La Révolution) is a French-Belgian-Czech comedy film directed by Jean-Marie Poiré released in 2016.

It is the third opus of the trilogy Les Visiteurs, following The Visitors II: The Corridors of Time released eighteen years earlier in 1998 and twenty-three years after the first one in 1993.

The film was produced by Sidonie Dumas (Gaumont), Sylvain Goldberg and Serge de Poucques (Nexus Factory), Christian Clavier (Ouille Productions) and Jean-Marie Poiré, who also co-wrote the scenario with Christian Clavier, like the two previous films.

Only three actors of the two previous films play in this third opus, Christian Clavier, Jean Reno and Marie-Anne Chazel, but only Reno and Clavier portray again their same characters of Godefroy de Montmirail and Jacquouille la Fripouille. They are accompained by new protagonists played by Franck Dubosc, Karin Viard, Sylvie Testud, Ary Abittan, Alex Lutz and Pascal Nzonzi.

Filmed from April to June 2015 in Czech Republic and then in Belgium, the film is with the remake Just Visiting (2001) the second film of the series having not been filmed in France. It was also the return of Jean-Marie Poiré on film directing after a long break of almost 14 years.

Plot

Arrived in 1793 in the middle of the French Revolution, Godefroy de Montmirail and his servant Jacquouille la Fripouille meet Jacquouillet, the descendant of Jacquouille and public accuser, and find themselves caught in the Reign of Terror. Godefroy is convicted to his descendance of that period, who tries to escape the Revolution. He and his servant help him to escape and attempt to find again a descendant of the Enchanteur to go back to their period.
