Place de la Bastille






The Place de la Bastille is a busy traffic circle with nothing left of the grim prison except some tracing along the street that outlines where the Bastille used to stand.  In the center of this square stands the monumental JULY COLUMN, which honors the victims of the July Revolution of 1830 that marked the supremacy of Louis-Philippe.  The God of Liberty crowns the column.
