by
Kate J Davis
The Place de la Bastille, often known as the Bastille Square in Paris was where there was an original fortress that turned into a prison and many will have heard about the storming of the Bastille. Yet there is also much more to this busy square that is a meeting place, a place of celebrations or demonstrations and the commemorative Colonne de Juillet or July column, including a very rich history, plus it is now home to the new opera in Paris called the Opera National de Paris Opera Bastille.
