At this spot on July 14, 1789 the french revolution was sparked with the storming of the "Bastille" (a medieval fortress that was acting as a prison). Today, the July Column (WWI memorial) sits at the intersection and an Opera House takes the place of where the fortress once stood. There was a band there for a ceremony, so we took a little video of them on their smoke break.
