Some of its stones were used to construct a bridge across the River Seine. The fort's actual main site is said to be where the Bastille Opera house now stands. The tower in the traffic circle isn't the Bastille, it is the July Column that King Louis-Philippe had constructed to "commemorate both the French Revolution of 1789 (the storming of the Bastille) and the "three glorious days" of the July (1830) revolt".

Really.......When I was there I was told it was now the opera house there, which is called, The Bastille Opera House.

If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

Wasn't the Bastille a debters prison, or am I thinking of the story of "Le Miserabe"?

Bob
Are you just trying to pull the silks over our eyes? An old silk dealer like youself would have no truble making a mismade flag from the flags of France, Italy, Ireland, Japan, and Canada. KISS

Al,
I wish that were true! My French flags were made by cutting Netherlands flags in half. (It works!) There is a demand for those other flags. Bob Sanders Magic By Sander |
