Paris Bastille Hotel

Bastille Hotel in Paris

Bastille - The Bastille is perhaps one of the most well known attractions in Paris. In 1789, at the height of the French Revolution, over 600 Parisians stormed the then prison and fortress and seized the central ammunition depot to gain the advantage in what would become the fall of Louis XIV. The Spirit of Liberty column, in the Place de la Bastille, was erected after the July revolution of 1830, which saw Charles X replaced by Louis-Philippe. Since 1989 the Bastille has also been the site of one of Europe's premier and most modern Operas. The Opera Bastille, dedicated to the music and the contemporary dance, was inaugurated in 1989 for the bicentenary of the storming of the Bastille. The Opera transformed the area around the Bastille from a somewhat run down area into what is now one of the most fashionable places to live in the city.
