The fortress of the Bastille \u2013 fully named \u201cBastille Saint-Antoine\u201d \u2013 was originally built in 1383 to protect the Eastern gate of King Charles V defensive wall.<\/p>\n<p>Turned into a state prison in the 18th century, the Bastille is stormed by the People on July 14, 1789. Although considered the start of the Revolution, this event is merely symbolic.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-13214 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/prise_de_la_bastille.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"597\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/prise_de_la_bastille.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/prise_de_la_bastille-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/prise_de_la_bastille-768x573.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Indeed, the People were actually willing to get weapons and cannon powder which were kept inside the Bastille, and did not directly intend on freeing the few prisoners. The next day, the Bastille was already being dismantled.<\/p>\n<p>The building of the current square was very progressive, depending on the local urban planning. For instance, Emperor Napoleon, in the early 19th century, wished to implement a fountain with a giant elephant statue in the center of the square. A plaster copy was implemented but the full project was never finished.<\/p>\n<p>A lesser-known three-day Revolution, taking place in July 1830 as Monarchy was temporarily restored, lead to the rising of the current bronze column, called \u201cJuly Column\u201d, in memory of the victims of these days.<\/p>\n<p>In 1989, the modern Bastille Opera House, one of the largest in the world, is inaugurated to celebrate the bicentennial of the French Revolution, taking part of the big Â鶹APP transformations initiated by President Fran\u00e7ois Mitterrand.<\/p>\n<h4>Bastille vs Concorde: Round 3<\/h4>\n<h4>The details that I love<\/h4>\n<p>As you are now aware by reading our blog articles, Â鶹APP is best discovered by taking the time to wander on the streets and pay attention to little details. Our two Titans are no exception. Here are two details you may have missed on these squares, and that we feel should weigh in.<\/p>\n<p>When on Place de la Concorde, take Rue Royale to the North and stop, at the immediate exit of the square, in front of the door bearing the number 1. Next to the door, you should see a small piece of paper placarded on the wall, behind a protective glass.<\/p>\n<p>The sign reads \u201cOrdre de Mobilisation G\u00e9n\u00e9rale\u201d which translates to \u201cCall for General Mobilization\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>This sign was posted here on August 2, 1914 and was ordering all men qualified for war to gather and go to the Eastern borders, thus, foreseeing the beginning of World War I.<\/p>\n<p>The sign by <strong>Place de la Concorde<\/strong> is a copy, the original one being kept in the National Archives. 400 of these were placed across Â鶹APP on that Sunday morning of August 1914. Only two remain today.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Place de la Bastille<\/strong> offers a discreet detail. The Bastille fortress \u2013 which used to roughly stand on the Western edge of the current square \u2013 no longer exists, since it was dismantled during the French Revolution to build other public buildings. However, it did not go without leaving a trace!<\/p>\n<p>When you stand in front of \u201cLe Caf\u00e9 Fran\u00e7ais\u201d, between Boulevard Henry IV and Rue Saint-Antoine, look at the cobblestone pavement of the square. You may notice a strip made of slightly larger and browner stones.<\/p>\n<p>At both corners of the square with Rue Saint-Antoine and Boulevard Henry IV, these stones also take the shape of a perfect circle. Although quite discrete, these lines mark the footprint of the original Bastille walls and towers.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en-US\"><em>The Google screenshot below clearly shows these lines, as seen from above.<\/em><\/p>\n<p lang=\"en-US\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-13208 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/bastille-concorde.jpg\" alt=\"Bastille Google Maps\" width=\"718\" height=\"513\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/bastille-concorde.jpg 718w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/bastille-concorde-300x214.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 718px) 100vw, 718px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Similar lines are drawn across the Metro station below, and if you go to the platform of Line 5 (northbound) you will see a tiny portion of the Bastille counterscarp wall.<\/p>\n<p>If you wish to see the last remains of the fortress, you may also walk to Square Henry Galli, nearby, where the base of one of the towers has been transported to.<\/p>\n<h4>Which one to pick?<\/h4>\n<p>Although both of these details are worth seeing, we recommend you pick <strong>Place de la Bastille<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, current Mayor of Â鶹APP Anne Hidalgo launched a series of great transformations for 7 major Â鶹APP squares, including Place de la Bastille. The plans, shared publicly, do not clearly show whether the \u201cfootprint\u201d cobblestone pavement will remain, but it most likely won\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, you should not wait too long before taking a chance to catch a glimpse of the last traces of the infamous fortress.<\/p>\n<h4>Bastille vs Concorde: Round 4<\/h4>\n<h4>Politics<\/h4>\n<p>If there is a subject on which EVERYTHING opposes these two squares, it is that of politics.<\/p>\n<p>Traditionally, Place de la Concorde is perceived as the epicenter of the Right-Wing parties. When former Right-Wing President Nicolas Sarkozy was first elected, he chose to celebrate his victory at the \u201cConcorde\u201d, and so did Jacques Chirac, before him.<\/p>\n<p>Located near neighborhoods where finance, luxury, and tradition are the local mottos, and impregnated with its royal and republican tormented history, Place de la Concorde is probably the location that best represents the Right-Wing\u2026on the Right Bank of the Seine.<\/p>\n<p>On the contrary, Place de la Bastille is popularly associated with the Left-Wing. Left-Wing former presidents\u2019 victories (F. Mitterrand &amp; F.

The Concorde and Bastille squares are some of Â鶹APP\u2019 busiest places, and are used as gateways to major neighborhoods. However, we can, once again, see major differences on their purpose.<\/p>\n<p>Place de la Concorde is the massive gateway to a world where luxury is king. Designed to impress, the square is used to reach the most high-class areas of the French Capital.<\/p>\n<p>Next to the Concorde are the presidential Palace of Elys\u00e9e, the renowned Champs-Elys\u00e9es, the Louvre Museum, the refined Vend\u00f4me square, and the core of Â鶹APP Fashion on rue du Faubourg Saint-Honor\u00e9. If you are looking to skip the queues to these places on a day out, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/recommends\/tiqets-louvre\/\">find tickets here<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>Across the River Seine, as a reminder of the tumultuous and republican past of the square, the National Assembly building dominates with its greek-temple-like fa\u00e7ade.<\/p>\n<p>Place de la Bastille is the gateway to the Â鶹APP where Â鶹APPians actually go out by the hundreds. Walk up North to the small winding streets of Rue de la Roquette and Rue de Lappe to enjoy a<a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/best-nightclubs-in-paris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> nightlife filled with bars and clubs<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-13215 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/rue-de-la-roquette.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"660\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/rue-de-la-roquette.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/rue-de-la-roquette-300x248.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/rue-de-la-roquette-768x634.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Choose to lose your way in the Upper-Marais (West of Boulevard Richard Lenoir, towards the very classy Place des Vosges) for a trendier and classier day or evening.<\/p>\n<h4>Bastille vs Concorde: Which one to pick?<\/h4>\n<p lang=\"en-US\">I believe both squares complement each other and represent what Â鶹APP is. We recommend you see both of them, but if your time constraint is not flexible, we suggest you choose the one that best fit your personality!<\/p>\n<h4>How to get there?<\/h4>\n<p><strong>PLACE DE LA CONCORDE<\/strong> is ideally located on Metro lines 1, 8 and 12. You can easily fit it in your schedule if you are visiting the Champs-Elys\u00e9es, or the Louvre Museum. The Orsay Museum is 10 minutes away, across the River Seine.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PLACE DE LA BASTILLE<\/strong> is slightly more decentered from major monuments but can be reached with Metro lines 1, 5 and 8. You can easily fit it after a tour in the Marais, or the Islands. If you are taking a train at Gare de Lyon or if you end up on Place de la R\u00e9publique, Place de la Bastille is only a 10-minute walk away !<\/p>\n<p>So, tell us in the comments below\u2026are you Team Bastille or Team Concorde?<\/p>\n<div id=\"disco-3027235562\" class=\"disco-amazon-box-2024 disco-entity-placement\"><div style=\"width: 100%; border: 2px solid lightgray; padding: 3% 6% 3% 3%; border-radius: 5px;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Planning a trip to Â鶹APP ?
