Place de la Bastille

The Place de la Bastille is where the Bastille prison stood until the 'Storming of the Bastille' and its subsequent physical destruction between 14 July 1789 and 14 July 1790 during the French Revolution.

The square straddles 3 arrondissements of Paris - the 4th, 11th and 12th. The Colonne de Juillet commemorates the events of the July Revolution (1830).

I'm lovin' your Tour of Paris! The B&W presentation really shows off the details of this monument and the moody sky behind it.

@lyndemc Thanks, Denise. I'm planning to cover all the main Paris monuments at some stage. Little by little!

One day I want to go there! Lovely image!

@lynnilou And WHEN you do Lyn, you must eat at Bofinger, one of the oldest Brasseries in Paris, right beside the Place de la Bastille!

The clouds, the B&W and the serious subject all combine to make quite a dramatic image. Well done.
