Its main purpose was to defend the king at the time, Charles V. The nation was particularly prone to revolts and the prison served as a point of protection. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">On the 14th of July 1789, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/things-to-do-in-paris-on-bastille-day\/\"><span class=\"s2\">Bastille<\/span><\/a> prison was stormed and brought to the ground by an angry mob. This marked the official start of the French Revolution in Â鶹APP.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14298\" style=\"width: 768px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14298\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14298\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/758px-anonymous_-_prise_de_la_bastille.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"758\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/758px-anonymous_-_prise_de_la_bastille.jpg 758w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/758px-anonymous_-_prise_de_la_bastille-300x237.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 758px) 100vw, 758px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-14298\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Storming of the Bastille &#8211; by Anonymous &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Anonymous_-_Prise_de_la_Bastille.jpg\">Wikimedia Commons<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The building was never rebuilt, instead a column symbolizing peace was erected on the site and still stands there today. The square is now known as the Place de la Bastille and is an official historical monument of France. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Since its tumultuous political history, the district of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/things-to-do-in-paris-around-bastille-square\/\"><span class=\"s2\">Bastille<\/span><\/a> has seen tremendous development. Today it is one of the most bustling neighborhoods in Â鶹APP with many attractions that make a trip to the area worthwhile. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I took some time to explore 10 must see things in Bastille. Since I already mentioned the Place de la Bastille it won\u2019t make the official top 10 \u2014 but should definitely be visited by all regardless.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"> It is the centre point in the neighborhood around which everything was able to grow and the perfect starting point for your day in Bastille since most things are within walking distance from it . <\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">1.<\/span> <span class=\"s1\">The Faubourg Saint-Antoine in Bastille<\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Faubourg Saint-Antoine is one of Â鶹APP\u2019 oldest passage ways. It is the thoroughfare that connects the Place de la Bastille to the Place de la Nation and has been actively used in daily life since the Middle Ages. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Life on the Faubourg hasn\u2019t changed much since the earlier years. The street is still home to many artisans and furniture makers who keep their workshops here.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14299\" style=\"width: 470px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14299\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14299\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/cour_du_faubourg_saint_antoine_paris_february_2015.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"460\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/cour_du_faubourg_saint_antoine_paris_february_2015.jpg 460w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/cour_du_faubourg_saint_antoine_paris_february_2015-230x300.jpg 230w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 460px) 100vw, 460px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-14299\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cour du faubourg Saint Antoine &#8211; by Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Gornet &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Cour_du_faubourg_Saint_Antoine,_Â鶹APP_February_2015.jpg\">Wikimedia Commons<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The road always has been a prime location for small businesses due to its exceptionally busy nature. As you walk or drive the road you\u2019ll be able to tell that it is still mainly inhabited by craftspeople. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Faubourg Saint-Antoine is the quickest route between the two neighborhoods and a quick dose of history for anyone looking to better understand the economical development of Bastille. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">2. Opera in Bastille <\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Opera in Bastille is one of the youngest buildings in all of Â鶹APP. It was built somewhat recently when you consider the age of everything else in the city; 1989. You\u2019ll notice immediately that the building is obviously more modern than the rest of the suburb. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Upon opening it became the official facility for the Â鶹APP National Opera. The space is comprised of the main theatre, the concert hall and the studio theatre. In total it can hold 2723 people at a time.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14300\" style=\"width: 809px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14300\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/799px-opera_bastille.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"799\" height=\"599\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/799px-opera_bastille.jpg 799w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/799px-opera_bastille-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/799px-opera_bastille-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 799px) 100vw, 799px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-14300\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bastille Opera &#8211; by LPLT &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Op\u00e9ra_Bastille.JPG\">Wikimedia Commons<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It is not always obvious to tourists that the Opera in Bastille is not solely an operatic venue at all. The space offers an array of theatre pieces ranging from ballet to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/things-to-do-near-the-opera-house\/\"><span class=\"s2\">opera<\/span><\/a> to concert performances. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The experience of seeing a show here truly is a spectacle and a privilege if you ever get the chance. You\u2019ll have to check their website for their up coming shows to decipher what it is you\u2019d most like to see. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Personally, I love nothing more than going to the ballet. At the Opera Bastille this happens on Sundays!<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">3. Cit\u00e9 Nationale de l\u2019Histoire de l\u2019Immigration in Bastille<\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Over on Avenue Daumesnil you\u2019ll find a Bastille based <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/10-unmissable-history-museums-in-paris\/\"><span class=\"s2\">history museum<\/span><\/a> with a mouthful of a name. The Cit\u00e9 Nationale de l\u2019Histoire de l\u2019Immigration is simply a museum about the history of immigration across the whole of France. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">France has always prided itself of being a nation of inclusion. It has been known throughout history to have integrated many migrants into French society. The museum therefore aims to advance the attitudes surrounding immigrant life in both Â鶹APP and across France.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14301\" style=\"width: 583px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14301\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14301\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/exposition_permanente_de_la_cite_nationale_de_lhistoire_de_limmigration_2007.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"573\" height=\"390\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/exposition_permanente_de_la_cite_nationale_de_lhistoire_de_limmigration_2007.jpg 573w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/exposition_permanente_de_la_cite_nationale_de_lhistoire_de_limmigration_2007-300x204.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 573px) 100vw, 573px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-14301\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Exhibit Visitors at Cit\u00e9 nationale de l&#8217;histoire de l&#8217;immigration &#8211; by Unknown &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Exposition_permanente_de_la_Cit\u00e9_nationale_de_l%27histoire_de_l%27immigration_2007.jpg\">Wikimedia Commons<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The content of the museum is highly fascinating; and I am notoriously a harsh critic when it comes to museums. The accuracy of information regarding the migration of almost every ethnic group into the French land mass is astounding. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Most importantly the museum provides ample evidence as to how immigrants have contributed toward the economical, social, and the cultural evolutions of the country. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It is well worth the \u20ac10 entrance fee and the kind of museum you don\u2019t want to rush. Make sure you have at least the better portion of your morning or afternoon to spend here. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">4. L\u2019Atelier Charonne in Bastille <\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">L\u2019Atelier Charonne is known on the Bastille streets as the <i>gypsy jazz bar<\/i>. It is a relatively new addition to the neighborhood but has fast become the place to see and be seen. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The fast earned hype of the bar has seen much criticism on account of the space being a lot more low key than one might expect. Patrons are warned not to expect much from the menu or vicinity itself. But the locals know that one should never go to gypsy jazz for the menu or the venue! We\u2019re here for the music, ma ch\u00e9rie!<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14302\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14302\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14302\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/811591843_l1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"465\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/811591843_l1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/811591843_l1-300x233.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-14302\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gypsy Jazz Artists &#8211; by Irfansevket2905 &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:811591843_l1.jpg\">Wikimedia Commons<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This is one area no one can fault L\u2019Atelier Charonne in. Night after night they offer spellbinding performances from some of the lesser known jazz artists trying to make a name for themselves on the scene. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If you do find yourself in need of a meal before the club then find a restaurant called L\u2019Amijot\u00e9 located on the same street as the gypsy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/the-best-jazz-clubs-in-paris\/\"><span class=\"s2\">jazz bar<\/span><\/a>, juts a short walk away. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Their mushroom risotto is delicious and you\u2019ll also have your pick from some fine wines to get your evening started. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">5. Promenade Plant\u00e9e in Bastille <\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Promenade Plant\u00e9e is my favorite thing to see in all of Bastille. It is a three mile long garden walkway built 10 meters above street level. The path beings at Bastille and winds right through the 12th arrondissement, eventually coming out at coming out at the Bois de Vincennes. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The walkway was originally just an abandoned rail way line from the mid-19th century. In 1993 it was converted into the sky garden it is today and has become one of the most cherished landmarks to the locals since. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Promenade Plant\u00e9e is alive with greenery particularly in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/paris-weather-in-spring\/\"><span class=\"s2\">spring<\/span><\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/paris-during-the-summer\/\"><span class=\"s2\">summer<\/span><\/a> months in Â鶹APP. The strange thing is that when on the ground it is easy for the walkway to go completely unnoticed.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14303\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14303\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14303\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/800px-la_promenade_plantee_et_rue_moreau_paris_2010.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/800px-la_promenade_plantee_et_rue_moreau_paris_2010.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/800px-la_promenade_plantee_et_rue_moreau_paris_2010-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/800px-la_promenade_plantee_et_rue_moreau_paris_2010-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-14303\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">La promenade Plant\u00e9e over the street &#8211; by besopha &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:La_promenade_Plant\u00e9e_et_rue_Moreau,_Â鶹APP_2010.jpg\">Wikimedia Commons<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"> On many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/tour\/city\/paris-walking-tours\/\"><span class=\"s2\">free guided walking tour<\/span><\/a>s of the area, attendees report that had the structure not specifically been pointed out they would never have noticed its unique function through the suburb.

It is also arguably one of the most famous in the world. In spite of the looming death at every bend, the cemetery is notably pleasant and somewhat mystical all year round.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The cemetery gains most of its fame due to it being the resting place of some high profile individuals who left our planet years ago. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">When I\u2019m feeling particularly nostalgic its quite something to be able to walk by the graves of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/what-you-need-to-know-about-edith-piaf\/\"><span class=\"s2\">Edith Piaf<\/span><\/a> and Jim Morrison. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">8. Gare de Lyon in Bastille <\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The architectural wonder that is the Gare de Lyon is one of six main railway stations situated around Â鶹APP. This one in particular is the exit point for all people wanting to travel by train to the South of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/best-food-to-bring-back-from-france\/\">France<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Even if you are not catching a train to the sunnier side of the country, the Gare de Lyon is worth a visit while roaming around Bastille. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The building is home to an array of incredible painted murals that depict monuments from cities around Europe that the train routes have served.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14306\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14306\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14306\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/800px-gare_de_lyon_paris_france.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/800px-gare_de_lyon_paris_france.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/800px-gare_de_lyon_paris_france-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/800px-gare_de_lyon_paris_france-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-14306\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gare de Lyon, Â鶹APP &#8211; by Riggwelter at wts wikivoyage &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Gare_de_Lyon_Â鶹APP_France.JPG\">Wikimedia Commons<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In 1972, the stations restaurant <i>Le Train Bleu<\/i> was declared a historical monument by the city of Â鶹APP.

Parc Zoologique de Â鶹APP in Bastille <\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This Zoological <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/where-to-see-wildlife-around-paris\/\"><span class=\"s2\">park<\/span><\/a> is property of the National Museum of Natural History of Â鶹APP. It is situated in Bastille on the park edge of the 12th arrondissement. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The park is a newfound attraction for both locals and tourists of Bastille as it was only recently reopened to the public after many years of much-needed renovations. As far as zoos go, the Parc Zoologique is thought to be one of the better ones. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This is not a part of Bastille you\u2019d likely find me by choice, however I do understand that the zoo makes a big difference to families traveling Â鶹APP with young children.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The park in which the zoo exists, the Bois de Vincennes, boasts a ton of outdoor attractions that are equally as fulfilling a way to spend your day.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14307\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14307\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14307\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/800px-bois_de_vincennes_20060816_18.jpg\" alt=\" \" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/800px-bois_de_vincennes_20060816_18.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/800px-bois_de_vincennes_20060816_18-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/800px-bois_de_vincennes_20060816_18-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-14307\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bois de Vincennes &#8211; by Georges Seguin &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Bois_de_Vincennes_20060816_18.jpg\">Wikimedia Commons<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It is the largest public park in the city and home to an array of floral life and water features.

Port de l\u2019Arsenal in Bastille <\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">There are some little spots in Â鶹APP that make you feel like you\u2019re in another country entirely. The Port de l\u2019Arsenal is one of those spots! The port connects the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/how-to-enjoy-the-river-seine\/\"><span class=\"s2\">river Seine<\/span><\/a> to the Saint-Martin Canal. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It was originally intended as a point of defense for enemy attacks. Today the port resembles that of a beachside harbor\u2026 right here in the city of Â鶹APP. The blue waters are lined with boats and seagulls flock between the docks. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The port banks are even home to some great seafood restaurants, just incase you weren\u2019t already feeling the beach vibe enough. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This is a great spot to bring a picnic or simply to sit and enjoy a book as the marine life goes by. The body of water drowns out most of the city noice and passing traffic; a truly refreshing way to experience the neighborhood of Bastille!<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14308\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14308\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14308\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/800px-port_de_larsenal.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/800px-port_de_larsenal.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/800px-port_de_larsenal-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/800px-port_de_larsenal-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-14308\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Port de l\u2019Arsenal &#8211; by LPLT &#8211;<a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Port_de_l%27Arsenal.JPG\"> Wikimedia Commons<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Visiting Â鶹APP without visiting Bastille would be like France without patisseries, or the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/history-of-the-louvre-palace-before-the-art\/\"><span class=\"s2\">Louvre<\/span><\/a> without art.
