The Hidden Paris Behind the Bastille and its Revolutions

The Bastille! Which Bastille? Where is the Bastille? And what is this column in the middle of the square? What about that strange vessel with glass facades? Follow me and dive in the heart of the French revolutions on the Bastille and through the faubourg Saint-Antoine district! From the 'Colonne de Juillet' to the Aligre market and its lively shops, from the shadows of narrow passageways to the surprising working-class courtyards, come and take a look at the discreet district of the Quinze-Vingts, with its often overlooked corners. The district, however, is one of the most dynamic and certainly of the most important in the history of Paris! Human revolutions, of course, but also industrial revolutions have left their marks here, which your steps will lead you to! So don't be surprised if this unusual guided tour of the former "furniture district" have you discover an elephant never really fitted the room or black musketeers playing dice in a hidden courtyard
