About the Bastille District - Paris
Hotels around the Bastille area find themselves well located for other tourist locations as well such as the Picasso Museum, Centre Pompidou, Chátelet Theatre and the Notre Dame.
As a rally point in the French revolution, the Bastille prison was torn down by the mob in a furious example of the people’s mal content. As such, there is nothing left of the Bastille but an outline on the sidewalk that marks the walls.
These special stones also go hand in hand with a marina close by that once held the terrible pits and there is a channel that runs below the roundabout and avenue constructed above the ruined fortress grounds.
The remains of a single tower that were never actually destroyed by the mob were only discovered when the subway was being built and this part which was relocated to the park then became what is now the station itself Gare de Bastille.
All in all, those who enjoy the history of Bourbon France will enjoy the historical side of this little neighborhood which now features many hotels, cafés, restaurants and shops.
